From Science magazine's coverage of the March for Science:
"Outside the entrance to the march, a crew from the science education program InSciEd Out, based in Rochester, Minnesota, prepared for the day, reports Kelly Servick. They came attired in zebrafish hats.
"We knew that the brain hat was a very high potential" among marchers, says Chris Pierret, a biologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, but his group commissioned crocheted zebrafish hats, honoring one of their favorite disease research models."

Extensions, Elaborations and Synthesis: Novel Science is Inquiry (Register)
March 2nd, 2016: 4:00pm – 7:00pm
Description: Providing opportunity for STEM students to move beyond lower Bloom cognitive capacities can be a challenge in today’s education environment. STEM curricula rarely allow the time or the training to help students reach toward novel questions and answers.
In “Extensions, Elaborations and Synthesis: Novel Science is Inquiry”, Dr. Chris Pierret will work with participants to practice extending students toward the capacity of synthesis. Participants will receive a curricular unit to read one week prior to the workshop during which Dr. Pierret and his team will extend with participants: planning a novel classroom level experiment to ask and answer the most pressing questions of the learners.

InSciEd out brings science fun to India March 9, 2015 This story originally appeared on the In the Loop blog. Christopher Pierret, Ph.D., jokes (we think) that as coordinator of the InSciEd Out Program, which brings science fun to classrooms in the region and now the world, his job is to “make sure nothing blows up.” While we’re sure that safety is a chief concern for the Mayo biochemist and molecular biologist, it’s clear his vision is much bigger.
