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!
