H.I. #50: Queen of Spades
Hello Internet
The Simon's Foundation
I went to a conference in New York. It was put on by this group called the Simon's Foundation, who are really into education outreach. And so I was asked to go along and one of the main things was coming up with ideas about making society more interested in science and mathematics. The impression that I got from what you were talking to me is about increasing science literacy in the general population or just more broadly. Increasing the sort of science and math literacy of society.
