Message-ID: Don't miss your chance to meet Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Shirley Ann Jackson, who TIME Magazine (2005) described as "perhaps the ultimate role model for women in science", during a special lecture entitled Converging Opportunities: The "Quiet Crisis" and Energy Security. Explore what Dr. Jackson has dubbed America's "quiet crisis,"-a lack of young people preparing to replace the record number of scientists and engineers on the verge of retiring. Dr. Jackson urges a national focus on energy research to excite interest in science and engineering careers, noting that "energy security is the space race of this millennium." Dr. Jackson holds 40 honorary doctoral degrees and is a member of the National Governors Association's Innovation America Task Force, whose vice chairman is Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty. She was a keynote speaker with former Vice President Al Gore at the recent Science + Society Conference in Boston, MA. Cost: March 8 - Adults $10; Bakken Members & Seniors $7; Students $5 Museum admission included. Call 612-926-3878 ext. 219 for tickets. Visit www.TheBakken.org or www.rpi.edu/president/profile.html for more information. Women of Heart, Women of Science is presented by The Medtronic Foundation and its HeartRescue program. Support for Dr. Jackson's March 8 lecture provided by ADC.
