>From 2 lists I am on: NASA is having a Virtual Take Your Daughters to Work Day at the following website http://quest.nasa.gov/women/TODTWD00/overview.html I will be participating in the VTYDTWD Forum, but there are also live chats with a number of women astronauts and managers. You need to preregister for the live chats, but the forum you can come in and out as you want to. This is directed to girls, but is open to anyone in the world. This will start on Thursday, April 27, 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. PDT / 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. EDT. If any of you are not able to let your students out for this day (such as those of you in the state of Texas), this may be a good thing to do if you have Internet connections in the classroom.
