SCIENCE NOTES NSF Sponsors Anthropology Summer Program "Beam us aboard, Scottie." Are you interested in an NSF-sponsored anthropology summer program in Nebraska combining one week in the classroom with 11 days of intensive field study? If you are, "Trek of the Mammoth" could be for you. Classroom study takes place at Chadron State College, while the high plains of Wyoming, Nebraska and South Dakota provide the setting for field study. On our first dig, we helped map and prepare a bone bed at a 10,000-year-old bison kill site. Our field studies were completed by visits to two more active field sites, where we helped the researchers with their projects. If you enjoy hiking, climbing and working outside in the sun, "Trek of the Mammoth" could be for you. The NSF grant for summer 1993 will cover stipend, materials and graduate credit for this program. To obtain an application, contact Dr. Lois Veath, Department of Science, Chadron State College, Chadron, NE 69337, ph. (308) 432-4219, Intemet:lveath@nde.uni.edu. - Paul D. Jones Applications Invited for Project ESTEEM Project ESTEEM (Earth Science Teachers Exploring Exemplary Materials) will hold another summer workshop for teachers at Harvard University's Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, July 5-23, 1993. The goal of Project ESTEEM is to develop a nation-wide network of earth-science resource agents to promote an increase in activity-based teaching in American schools. Thirty earth-science teachers from across the United States will be selected to participate. During the summer workshop, participants will examine and refine existing earth-science activities, present mini-workshops to other par-ticipants and receive content updates from recognized experts in the earth-science field. Following completion of the summer program, par-ticipants will present workshops for other teachers in their home areas, states or regions. To obtain more information or an application, contact Dr. Darrel Hoff or Ms. Anne Canaday, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astro-physics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, ph.
