About Joanne Manaster
Joanne has always loved
science! She never wanted to do anything else. Her mind has changed over the years as to what she wanted to do IN science,
but she's always stuck with science!
Except
for those few years she was a fashion model, where she was still thinking about science!
In her enthusiasm for science, she has created
her own website called appropriately, Joanne Loves Science. She loves using social media such as Twitter, Youtube and Facebook to share her love of all sciences.
Joanne
is a biologist and teaches univerisity students some pretty nifty science stuff, such as how scientists are trying to make
new body parts and how to understand the body better.
Most
of her students go on to be doctors, veterinarians, engineers and scientists.
She helps with science fairs, the Science
Olympiad and other very fun contests that help young people enjoy science! She also is in charge of a girls engineering camp.
Lots of fun!
Joanne thinks science TV is cool, too, because she likes explosions and collisions as much as the next person!
She also knows that to be a scientist, you have to be able to read a lot and concetrate
for long periods of time! Reading books help us gain those skills.
About Jeff Shaumeyer
Jeff
has a lot more facial hair than Joanne does.
He's really smart
Jeff
also works in science!
And clearly, Jeff has not contributed all the fun details about himself,
but will shortly!
Wow, aren't you glad you aren't this
nerdy looking? Joanne
at age 12! So I was a little enthusiastic! About science, that is. At this age, I already knew I wanted to be
a doctor! When I was your age, Even the selection of science books was pretty slim! |
Jeff, age 12 Looking ultra-dorky The
first is a photo of me with my parents.,
but I do remember that turning twelve
(I'm close to 13 in this photo)
was a watershed year: I got my adult library
card and could read real
books! So, at the time of this photo I was probably
working my way
through all the (Dewey Decimal) 500s that I could read.
When I was your age,
