Hello, all:

At the upcoming World Science Center Congress in Toronto, we have put  
together a panel discussion on the question of the meaning, utility,  
and application of innovation in science centers.  The participants in  
this discussion will be  Nina Simon, Jennifer Martin, Beverly Damonse,  
and Andrea Bandelli, and me.  We all agree that having broad input  
into the structure and substance of the panel will make it richer and  
more useful.

Nina has set up a voicethread discussion on this, so if you have a  
minute, please feel free to visit and add to the discussion.  I think  
that Voicethread does require registration, but it is a free and cool  
tool that you might enjoy.

Here it is: http://voicethread.com/share/126788/.

Nina has done a short blog on Museum 2.0 that might help give some  
context.

Thanks to those of you who have sent responses earlier, this will all  
be helpful for creating a thoughtful discussion in Toronto.
