About the Blogger
The Extreme Science website is the brainchild and labor of love of Elizabeth Keller, who has poured her passion for science and dedication to igniting the fires of inspiration for budding young scientists into this fun and informative website. The website has evolved over the years since it was first launched in 1998 and has grown into one of the most highly visited science websites on the world wide web. Extreme Science is ranked in the top 1% of the most visited sites on the entire Internet. The Extreme Science Blog is an outgrowth of the popularity of the website and Elizabeth uses this forum to address readers/visitors more directly. It also gives them an opportunity to submit comments, share articles and contribute to this uniqe content niche.
Teaching a Love of a Science
After finishing her Master’s degree in experimental psychology she went to work for NASA in the Space Life Sciences Office developing life science experiments for flight on the Space Shuttle. When Elizabeth left her job with NASA the Internet was just coming into its own. She decided the best way to learn about the Internet would be to create a website and felt that she should stick with what she knew - science. During graduate school and later, after her first daughter was born (she now has 4!), she taught school as a subsitute teacher. The students she taught found her stories of science in space riveting. She took her own fascination with things extreme and her love of teaching and inspiring kids and turned it into a science education website aimed it kids. The experience she gained from developing the Extreme Science website put her in touch with her fascination and aptitude with technology. She has successfully migrated from a career in science to one as a technology professional. Elizabeth currently owns and operates a technology consulting firm, Masters Computer Solutions.
