About 2 years ago I ran across a periodical, I believe it was Science
Teacher or Educator. This particular issue focused on the importance of
science centers and informal education as an inspiration to pursue science
careers. I do know the year or volume. I wish I could be of more help but
maybe this post will jog someone's memory regarding that periodical.

Happy New Year all,

Recently, I was looking for a feels-good-sounds-intelligent quote  
about the power of museums, why they're great, etc. I've had a hard  
time finding something resonant. I'm guessing, however, that this  
crowd might have some great gems.

Do you have a favorite that comes to mind? Feel free to send it my way  
or on our blog. I put up a posting about it, but the timing was  
sub-optimal:

Thank you!

Maria Mortati
