22 Converging Dots

If each of the 22 participants in the 2011 Polaris Project field course was a dot on a map, right now we’d cover much of the USA and even much of the world.  We currently have people in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Washington, Oklahoma, Oregon, Colorado, and probably several other states, as well as Puerto Rico, Switzerland, and Russia.  In less than 2 days 19 of us will converge on Dulles Airport in DC, and then fly together to Moscow where will link up with the other three participants (two from Russia and one from Switzerland).  For the next month, our 22 dots will stay together – first traveling across 8 time zones in Russia, then moving about in the vicinity of the Northeast Science Station near Cherskiy, Siberia, and finally traveling back to Moscow and the US.  Some members of the group don’t yet know any other participants and most know just a few, but over the next month we’ll all get to know each other well.  Here we go!

The dots converge.
