Please plan to share in the learning and fun with the SFS Summer of Science! With summer as our guide, we hope you will adopt appropriate attire at home or in media presentations – in other words, bright colors, beach imagery, and sunglasses are encouraged!
Here are some of the plans – with more details to follow in the coming weeks:
The kick-off and core week starts June 9-12th. Most activities will occur ca. 2-6 pm ET. In that week – we will have…
