Good morning all. I will be entering a Science Ed PhD program at Syracuse University in the fall 2008. I was wondering if anyone has any leads on grad student support opportunities. My current research focuses on the history and nature of science (especially teaching the theory of plate tectonics form a historical perspective) and the use and development of models in science and especially Earth Science teaching. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
