As you may know by now, this year is TAF’s 30th birthday! Even though you may not be at TAF right now, help us celebrate by sending us a short video telling us who you are, what years you went to TAF, and some quick birthday wishes and we’ll feature them on the blog!
You can upload them to your own account or ours on youtube:

Today TAFers studied the different classes and species of the animal kingdom, as well as observed animal attitudes and behaviors. Results may or may not be published in Nature sometime in the future.
They also learned that Force = mass x acceleration. See parents! We DO teach math here at TAF!

TAFers share what they are looking forward to this week.
As we look forward to another year of TAF, we will also be entering our second year of the tafLabs program, headed up by program directors Jon Lee and Kevin Yau! You may remember last year’s amazing slideshow among other fun projects by the tafLabs team members, and this year we look forward to a growing tafLabs family by introducing a new function and welcoming back a former TAFer — Andrea Hong as our Marketing Director!
You may be asking yourself: “What does this mean for TAF and for me?” For starters, it means that as an organization, TAF is continuing on its way to empowering everyone in our family to help us grow and fulfill our mission and vision through more and more awesome projects. If you would like to be part of action in helping TAF grow — and learning from each other in the process — then tell us what you can see yourself doing to help and/or what projects you hope we can accomplish in the near future!
