Girls in Science with Project Exploration July 18th
TBI education specialist and middle school teacher Kim Popham, along with Ph.D. student
Dana Skorupa, MSU geology professor Dr. Todd Feeley, and researcher Dr. Julie Hamblock
introduced twelve 9th and 10th grade girls from Chicago to the wonders of Yellowstone
in a day long field trip to explore thermal areas. The girls were able to conduct
hands-on experiments and talk to female scientists who are conducting cutting edge
research. TBI supports efforts to increase the number of young women entering the
scientific community.
