| Trending question on the NSTA listserv, from NSTA member Sara Severance: "We're exploring what it means to be principled and show integrity in science and I'm wondering if you know of any famous (or not so famous) NON-examples of integrity in science? When did dishonesty in reporting data lead to some devastating consequences? Any insights are appreciated!" Read answers on the blog, and add your own in the comments section. |  |

| Recently on the NSTA blog, a reader asked Ms. Mentor for advice on the following: "I'm a recent graduate. A school district where I would really like to teach has an opening for a secondary science teacher. But when I read the job description, the position requires teaching five classes of two different subjects (general biology and an environmental science elective). During student teaching, I just taught biology. Is it common for teachers to have more than one subject? How can I do this? I felt overwhelmed with just one! —L., California.

| Reading science trade books is the perfect way for students to build literacy skills while learning science content. The books that appear on the outstanding children's science trade books lists were selected by a book review panel appointed by NSTA and assembled in cooperation with the Children's Book Council. See the 2016 list here, or peruse the last 20+ lists here. |  |
