Welcome to Saturday Morning Science. The Fall Semester season is scheduled to begin Saturday September 12, 2009. 

Saturday Morning Science is a series of one hour long lectures aimed at anyone who has some interest in science. However, no science background is required.  Come share our enthusiasm and learn what some MU faculty are up to. The lectures are free. If you want to know a bit more about science, or if you are simply curious, come and give us a try.

Everybody who helps with SMS does so on a volunteer basis. This spring we had a total attendance of 2,112 and averaged 162 people each week.  We really appreciate those who help make SMS possible and the growing audience suggests that the community appreciates it as well.  For the most part, they don't know who makes it possible, but we do.

So.....some folks we'd like to acknowledge include:

Thanks to Cooper Bloom, from Jefferson Junior High, produced videos for most of the talks this semester.  These videos represent a large amount of work each week: thinking up relevant questions, interviewing people, and preparing the final dvd.  We are happy to have such an energetic colleague; the videos added a lot to the atmosphere at SMS. Thanks Cooper.

Melody Kroll and Pierpont Productions once again helped with the SMS brochure and Mel also helps out almost every Saturday.  Thanks Mel.

Cynthia Scheiner deserves a medal for helping out with the system in the auditorium.  Thanks Cynthia.

Norma McCormack puts together the weekly flyers we send
out.  Thanks Norma!
