It was their enthusiasm.&nbsp;I remember my eighth grade math teacher leaping up on a table to get her point across about the&nbsp;Pythagorean theorem, and my 11th grade chemistry teacher used memorable metaphors to explain challenging concepts. Both my parents were biologists, and growing up in Eastern Canada we went on many outdoor trips. The combination of motivational teachers and exploring the natural world fueled my interest to continue in science professionally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See the full article <a href=\"http:\/\/ucanr.edu\/blogs\/blogcore\/postdetail.cfm?postnum=24769\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Rand: Why Science Is Exciting and Rewarding Dr Rand will be joining the Department of Chemistry at Carleton University in September.
