Dear Colleague,

Record the high point of YOUR day …  Persuade a colleague to.

10 minutes at your desk ...  Show teens the attractions of science.



For SEVEN years, we have captured the 'Day.'

Sydney to Montevideo.  Astrophysicists to nurses to zookeepers.

13 year old to Nobel Prize winner.

500 stories last year!

New lesson plans for teachers.



200 words – The high point of your 'Day'.

What drew you to science in the first place?

Take the 5-question 'personality test'.  A photo or two to upload?
