So far summer has been productive

School has been out for 13 days and so far, I have been busy, busy, busy..... that's okay. Because I am getting paid for most of it.

Last week I made $310.00 for conducting training for the school district's secondary science teachers. I trained them on using the Pasco GLX Xplorer probes-- the pH, dissolved O2, and conductivity probes.

And this week I have been working with one other teacher in developing the school district's curriculum re-write for Biology. I have worked 8.5 hours and have made $212.50 so far. We have about another 8 hours left in developing the curriculum... so I will probably make another 200 dollars or so doing that.

So yay me!

Next week I will start classes again. I will be taking a biology course every day except Friday.

Then at then end of that course (end of June) I will be going to Lake Tahoe for an International Baccalaureate conference to learn about teaching IB Biology.

I am grateful that I am able to get this kind of work to keep me busy.

Scientist, Francis S. Collins- convinced that belief in God is the most plausible explanation for life and the universe.

Scientist and ex-atheist Francis S. Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) tells CNN how he came to realize that God was the only explanation and reason behind science.

Watch the video and read the article here: "God explains everything else".

"I had to admit that the science I loved so much was powerless to answer questions such as "What is the meaning of life?" "Why am I here?" "Why does mathematics work, anyway?" "If the universe had a beginning, who created it?" "Why are the physical constants in the universe so finely tuned to allow the possibility of complex life forms?" "Why do humans have a moral sense?" "What happens after we die?" " - Francis Collins
