Late Friday night, almost 50 students from Maryland and Virginia arrived at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for a STEM-themed sleepover, ready to learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
The educational event, which follows the success of our Girls Night In held in November, offered young men a chance to meet working scientists and engineers and to discover opportunities in STEM-related professions. In addition to meeting NASA scientists and engineers, students also met Chris Scolese (Director of Goddard Space Flight Center), Clayton Turner (Deputy Director, Langley Research Center), and former NASA Astronaut, Fred Gregory.

Using the main stem piece as a template to shape the 2 doublers. A pattern routing bit (with a bearing) is used.
Having gone to all this trouble, consider now whether you want to make an outer stem to cover the ends of your boards. If you do it is good to prepare for the making of the pattern now while you have the stem available to trace from easily. It is more simple to mold the curves of the stem on a bench than on the boat in my opinion, so I traced the outline of this piece onto some stout ply, and this will eventually support the mold pieces for the lamination of outer stem layers. Put the piece of ply away carefully and don't let anyone tidy it up because it may be months before you get around to making the outer stem.

March is Women’s History month, and we want to highlight some of the amazing women here at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on our social media sites.
Name: Charlene Swartz
Title: Maintenance Worker Wage Grade 8-5, Acting Facilities Manager
Duty Station: Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge
During high school, Charlene worked summers at a day care. After graduation, she was interested in starting her own day care center, but her dad suggested she pursue a career where she didn’t have to change diapers all day. So, Charlene started working for the National Park Service in 1988 and was one of the only females working in maintenance in the entire country. She stayed on Assateague Island where she was hired by the Fish and Wildlife Service in 2003. She still remains one of the few women working on maintenance teams, but has shown tremendous talent for the job.
What’s your favorite thing about working for FWS?
Being outside and working with a family of people. Plowing snow, wielding a chainsaw, & maintain trails are all examples of ways Charlene gets to enjoy nature during her workday. When she is indoors, Charlene embraces the “family” atmosphere among staff at the refuge. In addition, she grew up in the community so her ties help to connect the refuge family to the local Volunteer Fire Department.
What’s your favorite species and why?
Charlene’s favorite animals are horses, which are a beloved though unusual feature of Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Charlene she grew up with the ponies and has been riding horses since she was 5 years old. Her dad was a Chincoteague firefighter, so she has strong ties to the cultural history surrounding the horses in the area. Charlene now serves the vital role of refuge contact for the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Department. She is an integral link between refuge and community during major events such as the Annual Pony Swim.
This was a floral arrangement in the making! There were so many beautiful wild flowers along the road in Tennessee. We have nothing like this in my end of the world, so to me it was fascinating.

Rushes are monocots that live in wetlands such as bogs and marshes, and in damp woodlands. This section shows part of a stem of a Rush (Juncus sp.). Plants that are adapted to live in water or wet conditions are known as hydrophytes.
The stem is hollow and contains star-shaped (stellate) cells in a tissue called aerenchyma. The abundant air spaces in aerenchyma allow air to reach the root systems, which are usually submerged in waterlogged soil.
The stem is photosynthetic, with palisade tissue underneath the epidermis, interspersed with groups of fibres (red). Below this cortex are the scattered vascular bundles typical of a monocot.
The diameter of the large vascular bundle is about 170 µm.
