ELSEVIER
DIAMOND AND RELATED MATERIALS is an international, interdisciplinary journal and pubiishes articles covering both basic and applied research on diamond materials, as well as related materials. Thèse include cubic boron nitride and materials with characteristics and properties approaching or possibly exceeding those of diamond. The primary emphasis is on vapor deposited materials; equally important are hightemperature/high-pressure synthetic materials, as well as relevant natural diamond research and characterization. Papers published cover fundamental and technological aspects of synthesis, characterization, properties, devices and generic applications of thèse materials.

Editor's Note: The Miles Science Forum School Programs for 1991-1992 feature: • Adopt-a-Scientist: A science class "adopts" a scientist who visits the class about once a month and is also available to answer the teacher's questions. • Speakers Bureau: Abstracts of available talks are distributed to teachers each fall. • Magic with Miles: Interactive démonstrations for grades 1-6 involve simple yet visually exciting experiments that teach important concepts in science. • Flying Circus of Physics: Involves experiments and démonstrations that use everyday objects. Most experiments are based on Flying Circus of Physics by Jearl Walker. • Shadowing: A scientist is paired with a student who has some interest in a scientific career. The student can corne into the laboratory with the scientist and may be allowed hands-on expérience in simple procédures. • Mentorship: Scientists from Miles and other companies meet with junior and senior high school students to guide them in the development of science projects. • Science Fair Judging: 60-75 volunteer judges evaluate 600 to 750 projects. rj

I recently read the article, "I Could Use the Help," in the September issue of MRS Bulletin. I think the author made some very important points. My own personal interest in science and math éducation arises from my days in graduate school at Drexel University when I was trying to teach physics to freshmen engineers who used the "When am I gonna use this, anyway?" line
