Guest Scientist Program with BADM (K-2)

RTC and the Bay Area Discovery Museum successfully launched their joint Guest Scientist program in the fall of 2002. The program, made possible by an NSF grant, is designed to expose young children and families to the wonders of San Francisco Bay. Stewardship and appreciation of our unique local environment is promoted through hands-on learning. A combination of science and art activities make learning about one of the planet's largest and most biologically diverse estuaries fun.

The program also introduces the local community to RTC, its faculty and students, and the wide range of research taking place in the San Francisco Bay estuary. The Guest Scientist program is free to the public and is presented at BADM by an RTC graduate student on the second Saturday of every month.

May Guest Scientist on Saturday the 9th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. will feature RTC grad student Eric Galassi from the Stillman Laboratory. He will present "Tidepool Treasures."
