Today I visited Port Byron High School, which is about an hour and a half east of Rochester. I presented to a chemistry class, an open period mixture of chemistry and physics students, a physics class, and then a careers in science class - around 50 students overall. The school was very nice and some of the students were really great. I particularly had fun with the physics class, who were very interactive and intelligent. Often times students will play guessing games when I ask questions, but those students really knew what they were talking about and applied good critical thinking skills. It was no surprise to learn both the class valedictorian and salutatorian were there. The careers in science class was fun too, because there were a number of kids in there who were really engaged and you could tell were interested in pursing science after high school (fingers crossed for Imaging Science!). I had a great time in Port Byron and am really appreciative of their invitation to visit! Thank you!

Talkin' it up, on the ImagSci talk sho-ow
Talkin' 'bout Mars Rovers... Talkin' 'bout, shiny gold medallions (well not those so much, really) |

| Surprise! YOU'RE ON THERMAL CAMERA |
 |
| Uh-oh, we have a new contender for best ice fu manchu - Watch out, Utica |
 |
| Well you knew this was coming - the classic kid-in-a-garbage-bag trick |
 |
| Ah, but we don't normally get pictures of the glass pane trick! Where'd he go... |
 |
| Ooooo, foil - shiny shiny, even in thermal IR. Oddly enough, this is the first time anyone has ever suggested trying aluminum foil. |
