From Dick Larson
Dick LarsonWelcome to the 2nd STEM Pals Newsletter! In this newsletter you will see STEM news submitted by several of you. Also, starting with the next STEM Pals Newsletter, we will open distribution to a larger community, beyond those of us who participated in the MIT STEM Workshop in October. Please send us names of colleagues and friends who you recommend, and we will contact each of them to see if they want to participate in this wider STEM discussion. Based on your suggestions and our own daily reading of STEM News, we are posting important STEM reports, news articles, Op-Eds and blogs on Twitter. Read a selection of our Tweets.
