‘I am the girl that tweeted you’.

Elena found me on Twitter.  “I need your help,” she wrote.  I gave her my email.

Elena is an 8th grade student in Puerto Rico and her teacher had assigned students to profile a Puerto Rican scientist for a special project.  “You,” she wrote, “are my scientist.”

“De manera fundamental sería ideal que el ciudadano promedio pudiera entender conceptos de ciencia y tecnología y porqué son importantes. La ciencia, en general, te lleva al pensamiento crítico. Si el ciudadano promedio utilizara el pensamiento crítico como herramienta cotidiana para resolver una gamma de problemas, yo creo, que tendríamos un mejor ciudadano”. Mónica Feliú-Mójer, Ph.D.
