      April 01
      The annual Sonia Kovalevsky Mathematics Day for Girls (SK Day) was held Saturday, March 20, its first virtual production. In its ninth year, the event attracted 52 mathematically interested girls in grades 5 to 8. The students attended online sessions on cryptography, graph theory and coding (grades 5 and 6) and geometry, infinity and permutations (grades 7 and 8) as well as hands on activities on mathematics and art, Jeopardy, and active mathematical games."I loved that, even though we were virtual, we were still able to connect by learning and doing math together," said one...

      CST part of international effort to explore the deep seas

      by Greg Fornia
      December 01
      The deep seas, vast expanses of water and seabed hidden more than 200 meters below the ocean surface to depths up to 11,000 meters, are recognized globally as an important frontier of science and discovery.But despite the fact they account for around 60 percent of Earth's surface area, large areas remain completely unexplored, yet the habitats they support impact the health of the entire planet.Now, an international team of scientists spanning 45 institutions in 17 countries, has called for a dedicated decade-long program of research to greatly advance discovery in these remote...
