Our blog NSDL Road Reports was busy over Presidents’ Day Weekend. Correspondent Carol Minton Morris sent out a stream of dispatches from the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, including reports on the Plenary address from AAAS President Dr. David Baltimore, a speech by the President of Rwanda describing his country’s emphasis on teaching science and math, a call from the Union of Concerned Scientists to remove speech restrictions that are placed on Federally-funded research in the U.S., and a presentation revealing unexpected connections between shallow-water coral and deep-sea coral species. The blog also relays a progress report given by Dr. Nicholas Negroponte, founder of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, which has designed a $200 laptop computer that connects to the internet and is suitable for rough use. OLPC has begun distributing thousands of their miracle boxes to children in Uruguay, Peru, and more than 80 other countries. Check out Carol’s reporting from AAAS here.
