Robert Ballard

Last night we saw Dr Robert Ballard at the Kimmel Center. They have a lecture series of interesting people. Dr Ballard was fun! I could listen to him all night long. I was just captivated by his adventures at the bottom of the sea. Dr Ballard is best known for locating the Titanic but he has changed thinking in the field of biology, astrobiology, geology, and cartography with his discoveries in the Mid Atlantic trench. Today he is creating remotely piloted deep submersibles that can be commanded from control centers in any location in the world. He is beaming that information and experience not only into universities but into middle schools around the country to help foster and develop the next generation of researchers, scientist, engineers and dreamers.
