[OWW-Discuss] San Diego Science Festival

[Natalie Kuldell]

Hi all-
I'm coordinating the Boston-area hub for an outreach and education 
effort that will be linked to this festival. Anyone in the Boston-area 
interested in networking and partnering with great institutions around 
town (incl. WGBH, Boston's Museum of Science, and lots of others) to 
cross-promoter activities and move science from the fringe to center 
stage, email me (nkuldell at mit.edu). We had a great kick-off meeting in 
early May. We'll be holding our second mixer event on July 29th at the 
WGBH studios in Somerville to preview the summer NovaNOW series. We have 
a third mixer and showcase planned for Sept 26th at the MIT Museum as 
part of their anniversary celebration.

If you're not in the Boston-area, there may be a hub in your area. Check 
out:  http://www.copusproject.org/
My experiences with this group have been inspiring. There are so many 
incredible folks involved, doing exciting educational and engaging work.
Hope you'll consider joining the fun!

Natalie
