Testimonials

  A huge thank-you to Lindsey Carmichael for a wildly successful writers' workshop at Five Bridges Junior High School. Lindsey's presentation was entertaining as well as instructive and she easily kept the students' full attention and participation for the entire day. We are very much looking forward to inviting Lindsey back for another visit!  
— Linda Maurice, Library Support, Five Bridges Junior High School
  [Lindsey] was able to take some fairly complex and abstract science principles around genetics and ecology and make them accessible to a wide range of visitors. As someone who trains staff to interpret science with the public, this is not an easy feat!  
— Jennifer Bawden, Science Director, Telus World of Science
  Your visit was a definite highlight for many students, as well as myself. Several students have mentioned the forensic experiments to me throughout the year.  
— Matthew Cole, Librarian, River Hebert District School
  Fantastic presentation today! The kids loved how interactive it was!  
— Ms.Fisher, Elementary Teacher, Carsonville, Michigan
  She has a positive energy that the students respond well to, allowing her to maintain their focus and keep control of large groups.
