Sorry! I now realise that in my previous email I made the classic mistake of
talking about 'exhibits', forgetting that the USA you call these 'exhibit
components'. I should have been thinking about 'exhibitions'.

We British English speakers find this terribly confusing to translate from
American English! Does this ever confuse an American? I'm sure I sometimes
catch you saying 'exhibit' when you mean 'exhibit component'. Or is it just
me being confused again?


Promoting public engagement with science
through a contagious delight in phenomena
