the art/sci/tech community in its quest to expand the horizons of  
what we know and experience. Now it's time to give back. Remember  
that donations provide critical support for Leonardo programs, such  
as the Leonardo Educators and Students Program and the popular  
monthly LASER (Leonardo Art Science Evening Rendezvous) series.
