Ralph Cicerone, president of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, in an editorial in _Science_ magazine, notes the "new excitement and support" for science in the Obama era and says that "scientists must do much more to show how science works and how scientific research contributes to the nation."

He calls on professional scientists in the research community to engage new science students and become "more deeply involved in improving science education at all levels," including pre-collegiates. This will help garner the deep public support needed for successful science projects.
He finishes with: "Scientists have great stories to tell, and many important people want to hear them. So let's get going and tell them."
It is my hope that this TeamHuman.org science tribe can help provide a forum for scientists to tell their stories and engage with the community.
