Happy Birthday, Tam! May your day be filled with more excitement than a classroom full of kids discovering baking soda volcanoes for the first time. Your dedication to children's science education has inspired countless young minds—though we're still waiting on your secret formula for making physics homework disappear!From co-founding Sally Ride Science and sparking curiosity nationwide, you've truly made learning an adventure. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy and wonder as you've given others (and perhaps fewer accidental explosions in the lab). Keep shining bright—you've proven that teaching science can indeed be rocket science!
