My generation had Mr. Wizard; my kids had Bill Nye the Science Guy. I don’t know who the current TV scientist is now, but I can say that in Dalton, Georgia, the self-described “Carpet Capital of the World”, there’s a new scientist in the classroom, and his name is Keith Woodason.
Woodason is a chemical engineer who works for Styron, a Carpet and Rug Institute member company that manufactures the latex used in carpet backing. For the 2013-14 academic year, Woodason volunteered as the science advisor for Roan Street Elementary School, a public school in Dalton serving predominately Hispanic students in grades pre-k through fifth.
