We find that it is beneficial to have science personnel on staff serve  
as an important "Reality Check".  It in no way detracts from the  
legitimacy of education or program staff, but, particularly for  
cutting edge science topics it is important to have people with this  
kind of knowledge to bounce ideas off of. Also, when trying to  
simplify complex science topics, it is helpful to have people who can  
determine if explanations have drifted in terms of accuracy.
