You know there is evidence that backs up this approach. The US advances in science in the 60s-70s happened on the heels of children reading comic books where the science geeks were heros. SpiderMan, Iron Man — it was cool to be a mad scientist. Make science sexy, then kids will learn it.

Jeannie — I agree with you. These days, it’s not sexy to study science and engineering in America.
