I used to make science raps for my students at Stanford. Now I help kids of all ages make science history battle raps. By bringing music, history, humor, and video into science, I'm hoping to get students as fired up about the material as I am. I will begin teaching 8th grade biology at The Nueva School in Fall 2013.
