Frank Kelley: "The snowy owl nest, perched atop a mound of the tundra, is a pretty snuggly place for the chicks. They all clump together, sharing warmth. Mom (the female snowy owl) is usually right nearby. She flew off when we arrived, watching closely the whole time. Dad (the male snowy owl) dived down at us a couple of times to drive us off. We worked quickly and efficiently to disturb the birds as little as possible." Barrow, Alaska.

Being a scientist really appealed to me because I was really excited about the opportunity to be curious about the world and to try to answer questions that interested me about the natural world.

One of the most challenging things about being a teacher is to get students truly interested in what they're learning.

One of the most rewarding things about being a scientist is the discovery of new knowledge. You get to go out and ask questions that nobody has asked before, use your imagination to see the world around you and become excited about discovering new knowledge and new ideas.
