Wow! I am surely getting excited to learn more about each of "you"! I thought many of you did a great job embodying your scientist for this first small assignment. For some of you, be sure that when you say you are known for something, you briefly explain to your audience what that something is so that they really understand what you are talking about.
I especially enjoyed the comments by Bell 1's KP, AW, and EP; Bell 2's JB; and Bell 5's JD, NG, BA, HH, and CEM. All of these scientists went above and beyond and really shared a lot in a few sentences. I can tell that they have begun researching on their own and are beginning to think about the lives of their scientists. Great work!
For those of you who have yet to post, please turn them in even though they are late!
