BRINGING SCIENCE TO LIFE
Purpose/Motivations We are motivated to- help students with academic work in science; stimulate science interest through news and discovery updates; promote interest in science through sharing and storytelling; generally increase science literacy; and just maybe have a little fun! We hope to use this website to share our own love of nature, exploring, and the science that not only helps us to understand our Earth, but to live well in it and conserve it.
For tutoring- Do you need to review for a test, final exam? Just go over new material to make sure you got it right? Or get a head start on next terms subjects?

Renfrew and Hiker are both life long lovers of the outdoors including hiking, camping, backpacking, exploring ecosystems, learning, and teaching. Coincidentally each went on their first backpacking trip at the age of twelve and fell in love with it, but didn't meet and team up until much later in life. Both developed an interest in the natural sciences from hiking, camping, trout fishing, and gardening from childhood and these interests continue to fill their free time today. Renfrew is a career public school teacher in California (35+ years) with a couple of excursion years in overseas schools. They have a Bachelor's in Ecosystems Analysis, and Masters in Education from UCLA, credentials in all Life Science, Geoscience, Introductory Geography, and Introductory Mathematics with the state of California. They also hold a Certificate in Horticulture from UCLA Extension. Hiker's education is less formal in the sciences being largely self-taught through personal interest and curious investigation. She is also a gardener, museum goer, and amateur photographer.
