AESE supports Year of Science 2009

The AESE board has voted to support Year of Science 2009, a yearlong celebration of many aspects of science.  The overarching theme for the year is “How We Know What We Know,” and each month features a different focus.  Participants include those affiliated with the U. S.-based Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS) and such international participants as the Royal Ontario Museum and the HMS Beagle Project.  Anyone wishing to be involved in Year of Science 2009 is encouraged to help with local events and to plan activities based on monthly themes.
