When
I began my education at ASU, the school was, as many other schools still
are, a traditional university.

university is, how does one market a new and better way of thinking and solving
problems in an academic universe that has not yet caught up?

As
we walked through the relatively new and extremely inviting Yaku Museum of
Water
in Quito, Ecuador, we were struck by the lack of visitors, this late winter
morning in the middle of the week. Where
were all the school buses full of elementary age children with their teachers?
As
I sat this past January in my hotel room at the base of Tungurahua volcano,
listening to her active rumblings, I was both fascinated and apprehensive. It gave me a new perspective on the purpose of
our trip to Ecuador. What do children in
Tungurahua Province need to know about science?
We thought Tuesday would be free day at the Seymour
Marine Discovery Center at Long Marine Laboratory in Santa Cruz, but that
policy, it turns out, does not apply in August. To be honest, I can’t blame
them, given California’s economic woes. Anyway, it felt good to pay my $4 to
gain entry into this UC Santa Cruz facility dedicated to teaching about the
sea, its inhabitants, and our relationship with them.
