Last week President Obama spoke at Facebook, emphasizing during the townhall that theUS needs to be bullish on Science and Math education if we are to pull out of the recession, "We want to start making Science cool. I want people to feel about the next big energy breakthrough and the next big Internet breakthrough the same way they felt about the moonwalk," he said.Taking off on that idea, Nancy Conrad, the wife of late astronaut Peter Conrad, has founded the Conrad Foundation in the memory of her husband. Peter Conrad was expelled from one school in the 11th grade because he had dislexia and then went on to graduate from Princeton and walk on the moon because he was taken under the wing of an educator who saw promise in the young man.
