I teach at a school in Englewood Colorado, and I’d like your help with a rumor. My teammate’s daughter has heard that her science teacher was in the calendar “Studmuffins of Science.” His name is Timothy (TJ) Donahue, and he teaches at Cherry Creek High School. Can you help us verify this rumor either from first hand knowledge or by contacting Karen Hopkin on our behalf? This is truly just idle curiosity, but has diverted massive amounts of attention from real school work, so your hepe would be greatly appreciated.
So read a note we received from investigator Paul Regas. We have forwarded the matter to Karen Hopkin, the prolific biochemist / cell biology textbook author / journalist (and AIR editorial board member) who conceived and produced the Studmuffins of Science Calendar.
We, like much of the reading and/or scientific public, have been urging Dr. Hopkin to resume annual production of the calendar. Her project has done much to attract new people to science — or at the very least, to attract them to scientists.
