Welcome from Duncan Atchison
Welcome to "Shuttle/Mir Online Research Experience" Over the next semester, you will receive a unique perspective on NASA's life science research being conducted on the Russian Mir space station. Through this maillist, you will receive regular Field Journals from the men and women who are typically behind the scenes. You will hear from the space researchers who are anxious for new data about gravitational and space biology. The people preparing the experiments, who live and breathe the excitement of creating space missions will share their thoughts. These behind-the-scenes reports will offer a glimpse of the day-to-day activities required, including the broad diversity of skills needed as we push on new scientific frontiers. S/MORE has a dedicated online archive available now (but constantly expanding). It includes the complete collection of Field Journals, biographies of Life Science people, an image gallery, a collection of classroom projects and much more. As S/MORE evolves, special activities will be scheduled. For example, an activity which gets students around the nation and the world sharing data and ideas will become available in October. As well, a series of special WebChat and CU-SeeMe sessions with NASA folks will be scheduled. And your students will always have an opportunity to email their own questions to these NASA folks. As details emerge they will be announced on this updates-sm mailing list. Presently, we plan to publish these email updates about twice per month. The frequency will increase as the school year starts and the S/MORE project hits its stride. Throughout the S/MORE project, our team will be interested in receiving your ideas and feedback. Send any comments to Duncan Atchison (datchison@mail.arc.nasa.gov) or to Marc Siegel (marc@quest.arc.nasa.gov). We hope that S/MORE will prove to be an exciting learning resource for you and your students. Thanks for your interest,
