Carey Schafer - St Pete
I came to graduate school ready to change the world. Then I realized that everyone around me was there to do the same thing, but for some reason I didn't see the world around me changing. I didn't understand how so much groundbreaking, exciting science could be happening right in front of me, yet our government's policy wasn't reflecting that science. That's when I decided to get involved with taste of science. I realized if I could help (in some small way) to create a groundswell of excitement surrounding science, then we might to see that reflected in our policy and in the world around us. I believe that increasing science literacy (regardless of the topic) helps to make us all better informed citizens, ready to tackle the problems of the future!
