Scientist Research

In science class, we're working on research for podcasts. The people we are researching are scientists both alive and deceased. I am working with colourfuly on a podcast about Dr. James D. Wright of Rutgers University. What we did first was to pick our partners. My partner, of course, was colourfuly. Then, we chose a slip of paper from a bin. If the paper had a ® on it, the scientist was a student or professor at Rutgers. This meant we were able to contact the person for an interview via email. Once colourfuly and I chose Dr. Wright, we emailed him with a list of questions. These questions included "Who was your role model as a child?" and "What specific class do you teach at Rutgers?" Dr. Wright responded promptly, and we have started to record our podcast. We've learned a lot about Dr. Wright's inspiration, role model, role in the scientific community, and background. This activity certainly provided some insight into the mind and life of a scientist.
