Dad: I am a teacher. I have worked in education for 20 years. My teaching experience has ranged from preschool to grad school. I am currently teaching computers and biology at the middle school level. I have always had a strong interest in science and want to write interesting science stories for kids. My dream is to have a personal office that is a planetarium. I light fireworks with a blowtorch. E-mail me at jeff@sciencefamily.com.
Mom: I am a youth services librarian in a small town. I have to commute, so I'm an avid audiobook listener. I love to read fiction and non-fiction, riding bikes, swimming, and getting dirty. I do tie-dye and make mosaics. I was a teacher before I became a librarian. Dad and I met in the principal's office. (We weren't in trouble...) I am passionate about literacy, traveling and food. I hope to join the Peace Corps as a retiree. I bait my own hook. E-mail me at erin@sciencefamily.com.
Sam: I am the official site photographer. I am in middle school. I am very interested in painting, architecture, photography, science and traveling. I love to swim and ride bikes. My mom and I do long-distance rides together. Our longest so far is 20.8 miles. I have done many non-representational abstract paintings, in the style of Jackson Pollock, and others. I have been drumming since I could bang on pots and pans. I've been taking lessons for several years. I play in 2 bands at school, and really enjoy playing jazz. I play basketball for my school team.

Will: I'm only 10 years old. One of the things I love is climbing small waterfalls. My favorite animal is the cheetah. It is the fastest land animal on earth. It has short, very fast sprints. It can chase its prey for only about 15 minutes before it has to rest. I have a big hobby of collecting dragons and other mythical creatures. I love higher-level academics. I'm happiest when I'm swimming or being tickled. I try to pet every dog I meet. E-mail me at will@sciencefamily.com.
