Scientific subjects such as these interest and influence the lives of many individuals. Our goal is to help people in the community understand the scientific topics that interest them. Our educational program consists of presentations, workshops, and field trips for the general public. Any organization that would be interested in such activities should contact us to make arrangements. Presentations are currently free of charge, but we would greatly appreciate donations. We would also like to encourage anyone interested in volunteering in our research and/or educational programs to take advantage of this opportunity. Please contact us for information. Our activities can be adapted for audiences which range from children to adults. We also offer presentations and workshops for professionals for particular topics. We have a range of scientists, educators and other experts who participate in these activities.

Some topics for the educational activities include:

• Climate Change
• Tracks and Tracking
