MG Teacher in the news...

Today the WSJ fronts the seagoing tale of MG science teacher Juan Botella's research trip to the antarctic:

MONONA — Next month, Juan Botella will spend more than 60 days aboard a ship in the Southern Ocean to learn firsthand how scientific research is conducted — knowledge he will bring back to his classroom along with new information on how the southern polar region has changed.

We've had a story about Mr. Botella's research trip up on The Herald-Independent website for a few weeks already. The big daily copy-cats us and you link to them? Where's the love for the community newspaper? :)

simmer down there, Adam. We'll be happier when you post the letters to the editor for the last two weeks. You ask people to write and then don't put them online?

It looks like Adam was making a joke, he put a :) at the end to show that. He should be proud, the State Journal has 20 reporters and they had to read his story online to get the idea. That's a scoop in the newspaper biz.

The Herald has gotten 100 times better with Adam writing and running it, and it probably has a smaller staff then it did 5 years ago. Keep up the good work!
