Hi Jeff,
This is a great topic - learning is what life is all about! Let me know if
you figure out the answer!
Thanks so much for the submission.
It was excellent to meet both you and Barbara in Denver (my husband and I
listened to your CD on the way home!).
By the way, here is the link to the website I told you about to learn
Spanish (they do have lots of other languages too).

Cheers,
Tiffany

Abstract:
We have in the US a large population of people who reject science, both as
being boring and un-understandable, and as being antithetical to certain
other philosophies/teachings. Just as songs are effective tools for
teaching/ introducing science facts and concepts to students in a classroom
setting, songs and humor can be used to reach this population of people, as
well as entertain those folks who already engage in the pursuit of
scientific interests, either professionally or for pleasure. Many
universities have an organization like the Osher Institute (or some similar
classroom situation for "over 50" people) and communities have a variety of
adult education programs. These life-long learners can be a gateway into
promoting science in the general population.
