When the Kern County Science Foundation (KCSF) needed help sustaining science training for Kern County high school teachers, just "like a good neighbor" State Farm was there. On May 6 at University Square in Bakersfield, State Farm Insurance Companies Public Affairs Specialist Hilary Whitcomb presented a check for $7,750 to science foundation President John Hester. The donation came at the foundation's monthly meeting. It was in response to a grant request from the foundation, in partnership with the University of California, Merced (UC Merced), to continue biotechnology training offered by the Edward Teller Regional Education Center in Bakersfield. The program, introduced in November 2003, has so far trained 11 high school science teachers in urban and rural areas. More
