Pat was a scientific mentor for Michelle Williams' third grade class at Ceasar Chavez Elementary School in Palo Alto, CA. Michelle was a student in her biology class at the U. of Texas in 1986. Now both Pat and Dick are acting as "scientific advisors" to a similar class at UC-Berkeley, where Michelle completed her Ph.D. in Science Education and now is a professor at Michigan State University. |
