Second Annual Meeting a Huge Success!

Our Second Annual Meeting went off without a hitch on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at the Museum of Science, Boston! Our attendees were able to enjoy a fascinating presentation by the noted Massachusetts science educator, Mr. "Science Bob" Pflugfelder, spend some time taking in the wonderful MoS exhibits, and visit with our wonderful exclusive demonstrators in the Washburn Pavilion - Science Club for Girls, Ms. Kate Doyle of the UMass Natural History Collection, TERC, Heather Richardson with "The Brain Show" from the UMass Amherst Neuroscience Department, Beyond Benign, Ms. Skye Long of the Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Department at UMass Amherst, Science Bob, and the MAS 2010 Interns.

Attendees were also able to enjoy an Omni film entitled, "Dinosaurs Alive!" and wrapped up their day with us with Mr. Carl Zimmer, who delivered a keynote address entitled, "Spangled Feathered Dinosaurs: Putting the History of Life Into Technicolor." All in all, a wonderful day at the Museum of Science!
