"These videos not only communicate the essence of science, but also the
passion of today's leading scientists. These high quality productions will
help develop the next generation of scientifically literate citizens."
Steven M. Bass, President & CEO, Oregon Public Broadcasting

“Scientists need to communicate directly to teens, teachers, and the public.
What Classroom Encounters is doing couldn't have happened at a better time,”
Dr. William Moomaw, Atmospheric Chemist, Fletcher School of International Diplomacy, Tufts University (Classroom Encounters, WHS)

“What would happen if the ice on Greenland and Antarctic melted? We don’t
know for sure. This has never happened before during human life times.”
Professor Dan Schrag, ocean geochemist, Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Director of Harvard University Center for the Environment. (Classroom Encounters, WHS)

“We live on a remarkable planet that has a very long history of life. We are at a moment in that planet’s history where we are, by default, the stewards of the planet. We are doing things that are capable of changing the planet for good or for ill. We have the capacity to undo many of the things evolution has produced over four billion years. We should all ask ourselves: how can we be effective stewards of this planet so our grandchildren will live in a world that is as interesting and productive as the one we live in?
Andrew Knoll, evolutionary biologist, paleontologist, member of the Mars Exploration Rover Team, Harvard University (Classroom Encounters, WHS)
