FEATURES

PROFILE
"Malcolm Duncan and the new laws of physics." Dr. Malcolm Duncan's career as a physicist didn't go as he'd planned. Fortunately, he had understanding parents and a great Plan B.

THE FACULTY
"Can a country really have too many science Ph.D.s?" A recent report from the National Research Council suggests as much.

THE JOB
"Scientists as teachers." Ready for a little change of venue? Give grade school another shot.

NEWS

GOING THE DISTANCE
Earthquake epicenter measurement techniques and other sciences experiments made possible thanks to on-line science lab courses.

INNOCENTS ABROAD
Personal safety while teaching abroad is a matter of common sense.

ADMINISTRATOR'S CORNER
Adjunct faculty development is easier and more crucial than you may think.

REVIEWS

FOURTH ESTATE
Science, the journal of the AAAS, is pithy and a must read for the serious faculty member who works in the sciences.

THE NET
Ladies and gentlemen start your ebook readers. The next tome you read may just come in the form of a download.

OPINION

UNCONVENTIONAL WISDOM
"The genome and the adjunct." Don't worry; be happy; or get another job. This advice may just save your life.

THE IVORY TOWER
"Blaming scientists for the 'adjunct problem.'" Scientists grub for money. Humanists grub for respect. This difference spells disaster for adjunct faculty in higher education.

THE LAST WORD
Shakedowns and other schoolyard manuevers.
