American Association for the Advancement of Science
The American Association for the Advancement of Science needs scientists, engineers, mathematicians and physicians to assist K-12 STEM teachers in the Washington DC Metro Area, during the 2016-17 school year.
Details of the collaboration are worked out between the teacher and the volunteer, and may involve giving demonstrations, assisting in lab experiments, lecturing on special topics, assisting with homework, etc. The hours are flexible, and volunteers attend a one-day training in September before being assigned to schools. To see how volunteers are assisting their teachers, view the video clips at www.seniorscientist.org.
A brief presentation about the program can be found here.
If you care about K-12 STEM education and have time to share your knowledge with students and teachers, please contact bcalinge@aaas.org.

Students at New York City high schools in Harlem who learned about the failures and personal struggles of famous scientists scored significantly higher on STEM tests than those who did not. The scores of struggling students rose more than those of successful students, according to a new study.
The study, which was supported by a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, found that students who learned about successful scientists' intellectual or personal struggles significantly improved their science class grades, with the grades of low-achieving students posting the biggest gains. Test grades declined for students who only learned about the scientists' achievements.

Recent weeks have brought good news and bad news concerning lab safety. The bad news, of course, is the March 16 explosion at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, that severely injured a postdoc. The good news is an extremely useful new report titled A Guide to Implementing a Safety Culture in Our Universities. Both the report and a companion website were issued 11 April by the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, whose members include 25 university systems and 207 universities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Your resume is a marketing document, not a legal one. You don't have to list every job you’ve ever held. You can include the jobs you want to include on your resume, and leave other jobs out of the picture.
Of course, you will have to explain in your resume why you left Job A in 2012 and showed up at Job B in 2014. Employers and recruiters will want to know what you were doing between 2012 and 2014.
