Please join me in supporting Outdoor Afro and its Fundraising campaign to develop leadership training program that helps reconnect more African Americans to the Great Outdoors! I was kid who loved playing outdoors, exploring nature and watching animals. I became a zoologist and being able to enjoy the outdoors was a crucial part of my personal development that lead me to pursue science - ecology in particular. By helping Outdoor Afro reach its goal of $15,000 by January 31, 2013, you'll not only create opportunities for families to explore our beautiful green places, you'll be planting the seed of wonder to inspire the generation of scientists, conservationists, environmental educators.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
