Why? Because their science teachers are not that good. They do not bring science to life. We need another Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I am a high school junior @ Jordan Valley High School in Oregon. I am planning to major in chemistry. I would argue to what Maz said, Scientists and engineers are not simply steroid popping meat-heads. My brother is an engineering major @ Duke and he is having a great social life apart from his excellent academics. By the way, i came across these excellent <a href="http://www.funnelbrain.com/searchResults.php?searchTxt=physics&decks=true" rel="nofollow">physics flash cards</a>. Its also a great initiative by the FunnelBrain team. Amazing!!! A great initiative by President Obama! I am a high school junior @ Jordan Valley High School in Oregon.

We're going to show young people how cool science can be." - Obama I suppose it is about time. Instead of dreaming about becoming steroid popping meat-heads, maybe the next generation of kids will dream of inventing a warp engine! Hmmm...nahh, probably not. “Scientists and engineers ought to stand side by side with athletes and entertainers as role models, and here at the White House we’re going to lead by example.
