Keep your Faith. Do Good Science. Know the Difference.

 "I’ve always given a farewell talk to my students at the end of the year. A few years ago I decided to improve my lecture and leave my students with a positive message.  One morning, while running and rolling around in my head a lot of ideas, it just emerged.

"Keep your faith" (Something my father always said to us.) "Do Good Science" (From my work with elementary teachers in our Hands-on Science project.) "Know the difference" (From my years of discussions with staff and parents concerning the teaching of science with integrity and keeping my personal biases and beliefs out of the classroom.) I used it with the students that year and ever since. I’ve also used it in a graduation speech and had many positive comments."
