A tidewater glacier named for French geographer and geologist Emmanuel de Margerie (1862-1953), it moves from the mountains to the sea. Each year, more than 430,000 people engage with science by visiting Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, where the Margerie Glacier is located.

The new unit integrates physical science and life science concepts, and pilot test results showed that students made signi–cant gains in understanding key ideas about chemical reactions in both living and non-living systems. Reflecting three rounds of testing and revision, the 2013 version of the curriculum unit responds to the latest recommendations of the National Research Council’s A Framework for K-12 Science Education, which emphasize integrating core scienti–c ideas and practices, such as modeling and constructing explanations, across the science disciplines. The unit helps students learn important ideas that can be used to explain growth and repair in animals and plants. For example, students use LEGO® bricks and ball-and-stick models to see how the food that animals eat undergoes chemical reactions that break down and rearrange atoms to form new molecules that become part of the COLELLADIGITAL.COM

The goal is to kick-start the career of promising future investigators. “She was concerned that young women did not have the same opportunities that men had in the sciences and that by funding such research, their careers could be advanced,” said Charles Milligan, Mason’s nephew and the executor of her estate. Mason was born in Cincinnati in 1927 and grew up in West–eld, New Jersey. She studied at Vassar College, an alma mater she shared with her mother and three of her aunts. “It was always a great source of pride to Marion that Martin Tuttle [Marion’s maternal grand- father] had managed to send his daughters to Vassar at a time when college education of women was by no means the norm,” said her brother Barton Milligan, a AAAS Fellow. A¹er her graduation in 1949, Mason worked in Bound Brook, New Jersey, as a chemist at the American Cyanamid Company. When she learned that, compared to her colleagues who had recently earned doctoral degrees in chemistry, she was performing similar work for considerably less compen- sation, she felt motivated to continue her education. In 1970 Mason earned her Ph.D. degree in organic chemistry from Rutgers University. As those in the Baby Boom generation reach retirement age over the next 20 years,
