Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship: Science in the City

亚利桑那大学的Rachel Morgan Theall正在开发大学，图森公立学校和Flandrau科学中心之间的新合作。“城市中的科学”将使城市中为少数民族服务的公立高中的教师和学生能够为当地科学博物馆制作专业展品。来自三到五所高中的学生团队将各自研究、设计和创作一个关于他们社区科学某些方面的展览。这些展品将被评判，获奖展品将在弗兰德劳科学中心展出。参与该项目的学生和教师将深入了解特定的科学主题或问题，了解科学如何影响他们的日常生活，学习如何在非正式的公共科学教育环境中展示他们的主题，并为他们的社区做出积极贡献。该奖项由化学部和多学科活动办公室共同资助。探索军团奖学金计划是一项试点计划，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将联合收割机研究专业知识与面向服务的项目相结合。探索队计划支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Rachel Morgan Theall, University of Arizona, is developing a new collaboration between the University, Tucson public schools, and Flandrau Science Center. "Science in the City" will enable teachers and students at urban, minority-serving public high schools to create professional exhibits for the local science museum. Student teams from three to five high schools will each research, design and create an exhibit on some aspect of science in their communities. These exhibits will be judged and the winning exhibits will be displayed in the Flandrau Science Center. Students and teachers involved in the project will gain in-depth understanding of a particular science topic or issue, understand how science impacts their lives on a daily basis, learn how to present their topic in an informal public science education setting, and make a positive contribution to their community. This award is cofunded by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with a service-oriented project. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
