With an eager eye fixed upon the integration of scientific world views
and society beyond acedemia, and propelled by prospects of innovative,
interactive education, here is a burgeoning
list to inspire: science in extreme environments, science in the snowfield,
science that's done cheap and well, science that's exhilarating, science
that's shocking, science that's cute.

make them possible."
