Chris Lester of the Metamor City podcast is a biology teacher at the ARISE High School in Oakland, California. ARISE is a small charter school in their second year of a five-year charter. Its mission is to serve children who will be the first members of their family to attend college. It is in an area considered a high-need neighborhood and the overwhelming majority of the students speak a language other than English.
 
Chris needs funds to equip his biology labs to prepare these young people for college. ARISE is a registered not-for-profit charitable organization and all donations are tax-deductible. You can help Chris in this effort with a donation at ChipIn: 2008-09 Biology Class. Let’s send these kids a message that they have the coolest biology teacher ever!
 
Thank you!
Paulette

FLRT 002 Regarding the Barry Fitzpatrick’s Navigator – This month’s story is a work of science fiction. Set several hundred years in our future when mankind is reaching out to the stars. However the same laws of relativity that make wormholes possible also exact a toll on those who would use them. Anyone who ventures out too far is destined to return home like Rip Van Winkle to find everyone older and everything changed.
