"To the natural philosopher there is no natural object unimportant or trifling…a soap bubble…an apple…a pebble…He walks in the midst of wonders." John Herschel, A Preliminary Discourse on the Study of Natural Philosophy (1830)

See yourself in print
With the new school year, the Syracuse Post-Standard is resuming its Voices page, which features the writing of local high school students. I would love to open the paper one Monday morning and see the writing of one of my students. Imagine how proud I would be! Imagine how much I would brag about you! So, to get your writing published in the Post-Standard, send an email to youthnews@syracuse.com for more information. According to their newsletter, "Upcoming topics include Overcoming Obstacles: ADD/ADHD; Opinions on the Islamic center and mosque being built near 'Ground Zero'; Reality TV; and Marching Band." The topic for today's issue (September 13) is What We Did over Summer Break. Click here to read online today's student essays.
