Darlene Cavalier, The Science Cheerleader

Dr. David Brooks has sent notice about The Science Cheerleader, a web site by former Philadelphia 76'ers cheerleader Darlene Cavalier.

The site provides a forum for readers to offer their opinions about and solutions to a wide range of science issues, including public policy and education.

The site begins with this enthusiastic opening:

Hey fans, look alive! Here comes the Science Cheerleader and she knows you are the new face of science. She rallies the troops, gets the conversation going, and solicits views from citizens, scientists, and government to help you do science and contribute to important science discussions.
