In this era of genetic engineering, nanotechnology, cell phones, computers, and the Internet, science literacy becomes an essential element of survival for both individuals and society as a whole. This unique work makes a positive contribution to that end through the biographies of fifteen American scientists, men and women from paleontology to artificial intelligence, written by high school students from the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy.
Each student has carefully researched and interviewed a scientist, and written a thoughtful and intriguing portrait focusing on the fascinating life, work, and unique inspiration that motivated each featured scientist to excel in his or her field. This compelling collection will open the eyes of both students and laypersons around the world to the joys and challenges of doing science.
