Synergistic Activities
VT-STARS (Virginia Tech Summer Training Academy for Rising Students), a 3-year developmental program for Virginia's at risk youth (2007). Responsible for organizing science track for 2007 program on “Energy, Scarce Resources, and Environmental Impact” (included Geosciences, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Psychology, and Economics).
Nano2Earth Project (2002-04). Co-organized workshops for local science teachers with goal of designing high school nanoscience curriculum. Workshops included 3 days on introduction to nanoscience, applications and tools of the trade (2002), 3 days on developing lab activities to demonstrate principles of nanoscience (2003) and 3 days on writing curriculum (2004).
Acid Mine Drainage Treatment Wetlands Project (Summer-Fall 2003): With graduate student Forest Walker, I conferred with group at University of Virginia College at Wise on an educational project on treatment wetlands for acid mine drainage.
