Linda Ford

Are you up for trying an ambitious experiment that combines archeology, instrumental analysis, and a search for patterns in data? Then this activity might fit the bill! I came up with this activity after slipping into one of Kevin Braun’s presentations at the BCCE 2016 in Colorado.

In a BCCE 2016 Plenary session, I mentioned that I have, display and live a class motto in order to give a framework to the scientific intent of my community of learners. My particular motto is a quote from Freeman Dyson: 

If you teach the chemistry of foods, I encourage you to purchase some Miracle berries from Amazon. These berries are really miraculous! After chewing a berry, you can bite directly into a lemon wedge, and it will taste like lemonade! YES! A component of the berry masks some of your taste buds to sweeten the experience.
