Nina wrote "Lately I've been asked to speak to 9th graders about a career in
science, and it's depressing. Jobs in science in the next decades are
going to be filled by foreigners with good backgrounds in science, not
by the kind of students I've been seeing. Not the kids' fault; its our
fault for not teaching decent science."

A point especially brought home by Thomas Friedman in his book _The World Is
Flat_...interesting reading!
