Patrice Rodgers is a 2nd career High School science teacher who has been interested in all things science since before geeks were a thing. Her teaching career began over three decades ago in the Peace Corps, and continued (after a 20 year detour into Health Physics, children, and grad school) with a leap into 7th grade science education. She now teaches High School Biology, Anatomy/Physiology, and science electives in Northeast Connecticut, where she thrives on the challenge of helping students answer the eternal question, “Why do we have to study this?”
