Eighth-grade science students at Brunswick Junior High experimented with what it feels like to work in a Bowdoin College science lab – and are sharing their enthusiasm for science and research with the world. Maria Palopoli’s students, with support from the Maine Learning Technology Initiative, shot much of their video Why Does Science Matter? in Druckenmiller Hall. Palopoli received the 2010 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science and is married to Associate Professor of Biology Michael Palopoli.
