Based on David's application, his school has been selected as one of 15 new schools to receive an AS-1 seismometer through the IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) Seismographs in Schools program! David will be attending a two-and-a-half-day training workshop September 19-21, 2008, at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in Kansas City, MO, that will cover the basics of setting up and using the seismograph, an overview of the associated software, instruction in how to manipulate and analyze seismic data, and methods of sharing data locally and across the country. IRIS is completely covering the cost of the workshop! Congratulations, David!
David Boyd 3 About David...

"I love teaching, but mostly learning. Something about endorphins, and I do this because of the surprises I get every day.

I raised three daughters and a son and lived to tell about it.

I got my first degree at the age of fifty, a great way to finish up my first century on this planet.

I love to play music (badly) using mandolin or guitar. Proactive, practice, practice - lookout Carnegie Hall!

TXESS Revolution rocks the world and I admire the great group of people who have become part of the Revolution. Now it's time for the revoltin' part."
