<div>Dear Sally,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thanks again for the recommendation. We are really pleased that
G.J. will be speaking to the kids at our Blue Lobster Bowl. I think
it's a perfect fit.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>And again, my thanks to all those on the editors' list who
responded with such prompt and thoughtful recommendations. Andre the
Seal was of course of great interest to us, but as I noted to Scott,
way out of our budget.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Andrea</div>

<br>
I am wondering whether anyone has any recommendations for a speaker
who'd connect well with high school students. This is for a short
introduction to the Blue Lobster Bowl, here at MIT on Feb. 9.
2008.<br>
<br>
Part of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, this event brings teams of
students together to compete in series of round robin questions. The
goal of the competition is to increase knowledge of the oceans on the
part of high school students, their teachers and parents, and to raise
the visibility and public understanding of the national investment in
ocean-related research.<br>
<br>
The ideal speaker would be someone involved in research and/or
education, able to inspire kids on a Saturday morning, and maybe even
elicit some press interest. A couple (big) thoughts we have had are
President Hockfield and Deval Patrick.<br>
<br>
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This also begs the question:
does MIT have any sort of resource/database of possible speakers for
various events?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Andrea<br>
