1) MCAA's "My Super Science Heroes" book series is coming soon! We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of My Super Science Heroes: Marie Curie on Indiegogo and bring science to our most curious thinkers—children between the ages of five to eight years old. My Super Science Heroes is an exciting new picture book series that depicts science as it really is: an epic adventure complete with heroes, villains, and amazing super powers. The heroine of our first book is two-time Nobel Laureate Marie Curie. Our villain is the nefarious Mr. O, an anti-hero whose primary objective is Opposition. Fortunately, Marie Curie has a super power that allows her to confront her nemesis and ultimately to defeat him. That super power is persistence, a fundamental trait of sound scientific inquiry. Written and illustrated as a dynamic super hero story, this book introduces children to important scientists and their key accomplishments in a fun and engaging way. In addition, by focusing on key traits innate to us all (persistence, curiosity, creativity, etc.,) and their role in the heroes' successes, we hope to show that great scientific achievement is not limited to a select group of masterminds, but rather is within the reach of anyone. One need not be a swashbuckling, Kung Fu fighting, cape-wearing champion (although some heroes do have a penchant for lab coats) to be extraordinary. One need only nurture the super powers inherent in all of us. We will be announcing the fundraising campaign soon. If you cannot wait (and you should not) Join our VIP list and be the first to know when we launch! 2) Make YOUR voice heard concerning the Future of Europe The European Commission is seeking feedback concerning the White paper on the future of Europe. The English version of this is to be found at https://ec.europa.eu/commission/white-paper-future-europe-reflections-and-scenarios-eu27_en This page also contains a link to all the other 22 language versions. For debate and comment, we have set up a group in the MCAA Website. See https://www.mariecuriealumni.eu/groups/future-europe-%E2%80%93-consultation We will then produce a summary of comments and debate, which will be sent to the EC. All comments and debate submitted prior to noon, April 18th 2017 will be a part of that summary produced. The overview paper will of course be published on the site. The EU has given you support, funding, and a chance for a better future. Now we ask you to give some time to the same institution and ensure it has a strong; inclusive future and continues to develop the open market model with strong social protection and build a strong Europe to give the world a model to be proud of.
