Dear DA 10 STEM cohort and their parents,
Mr. Kersten is going to have surgery next week so I will be subbing in for him for period 2 from Nov 18-23. One day I will administer a test for him. However, the other days I am organizing some speakers for our students. On 11/19 we will Zoom in Andrea Peterson who graduated from Jefferson and works at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. She went to the U of W Madison and Harvard and will talk about her process of choosing her STEM career path.
On 11/23 we will do a college panel with:
-Jordan Thomson, Washington University, St. Louis - Kennedy grad
-Tuan Dinh, Princeton University -Kennedy grad
-Jillayne Clarke, Johns Hopkins University -Jefferson grad
All the speakers will be on Zoom so students will need to bring their Chromebooks and headphones those days.
Sincerely,
Meredith

But there is no such thing as successful multitasking, because much of the time spent is wasted on context switching, where the brain has to restart and refocus.
