Science Discovery's New Director!

We are extremely excited to announce that as of January 2006, Science Discovery has a new director, Dr. Jeffrey Kidder. Dr. Kidder has a Master of Science in Wildlife Science and a Doctor of Philosophy in Zoology from Cornell University. He comes to us from Rutgers University where he served as the Director of Science Outreach and Co-Director of Pre-College Programs and was most recently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban Education, with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Biological Sciences. In these roles, he developed numerous science outreach projects targeted at improving science literacy and achievement in disadvantaged urban youth. The staff at Science Discovery is thrilled that he has joined us. We are looking forward to working with him to continue to carry on and expand Science Discovery's mission. As an avid field biologist and former beekeeper, Jeffrey will be teaching a new class this summer called "Secrets of the Hive."
