I had an email from a former colleague who said that the conference must be a science teacher’s paradise. She’s right. Where else can you

• update your content knowledge
• get new teaching ideas and interact with the presenters
• meet thousands of science teachers
• have your picture taken with Bill Nye
• get the latest information on lab equipment and technology
• gather lots of classroom materials
• get free shipping on books

And where else can you wear a t-shirt with the word “mycology” on it and have people know what the word means!
