Personal Notes: I wanted to jump in the air and kick my heals shouting YeaHa! Galerie de Kev186. Welcome to the Council of Forensic Science Educators | Council of Forensic Science Educators. Frances Glessner Lee | Harvard Magazine Sep-Oct 2005. To a forensic investigator, trivial details can reveal transgressive acts. Consider the card Frances Glessner Lee carried in her later years, listing both her married name and her honorary title—captain of the New Hampshire State Police. A hybrid of the calling card ubiquitous in the genteel society into which she was born, and the business card of the forensic visionary she became, that artifact is material evidence of her unusual life.

Conducted within the contours of conventionality, Glessner Lee’s activities were consonant with the one career she was expected to assume, that of society matron. Her tables were elegantly appointed, her fortune endowed a worthy cause, and her leisure time was productively devoted to a hobby many women enjoyed: making miniature scenes. “Fanny” was a sheltered and indulged child, raised in a household that epitomized the aesthetic and moral ideals of nineteenth-century domesticity.

Fanny and her brother were educated at home. Scientists – I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here! – UK. I’m a Scientist, Get me out of Here! Is an online event where students get to meet and interact with real scientists. It’s an X Factor-style competition between the scientists, where students are the judges. Students submit questions which the scientists try to answer by the next day. Students then have live online Facebook style chats with the scientists, where they ask questions, learn more about the scientists, and let scientists know their opinions.

It takes place online over a two week period. Here's a video that sums it up What's involved? You interact online with school students, answering their questions about science, research, and just about everything else. It runs for two weeks at a time, usually in March, June & November each year. The students: ASK you questions CHAT to you online about you, your research and science Then VOTE for the scientist they think has best talked about their subject area and work, to win £500 to spend on communicating science.
