I have a ten year old who is absolutely obsessed with polar bears, and she wants to do something. What can she do, that will both make a difference, and make her feel like she has an impact, to help save them?

Do you ever refuse anything that Mike and Ian want you to eat or drink for "how to do everything"? Even if they tell you it's "safe"?

I'm not that far from you! I have 3 kids (11, 8 and 4, the youngest one having the same first name as you, actually), and they love messing around scientifically. Are you doing any exciting summer programs for kids?

Also, any advice on keeping the girl (8) interested in science?

Hi Bello! I've got three kids and they love watching you. You're a hard guy to forget!

What instruments do you play?

Can't wait for my challenge coin to arrive. I wish I could have given more, but I'm an architect working in public housing. I do have the architecture alphabet hanging up right near me now, though.

That is related to my question though. How do we get people to value what we do? Sure, it is one of the cooler professions to say that I am at a party, but that doesn't exactly pay the bills. I know many people in all fields of design have issues with this - everyone with a little sketchup knowledge fancies themselves an architect, so it's hard to put a price tag on it. Any advice?

If you ever come to New England, I'll show you the Hannah Duston statue nearby. It's not the truly gruesome one.
