Hello All:  I am Museum Studies graduate student in California, and am 
currently working on a thesis addressing the role of advocacy in science 
museums, with a focus on the issue of climate change.  To get an idea of how 
many science museums in the United States are presenting climate change 
material to their visitors, I would like to ask your help with a very short, 
simple survey.  I know you are all very busy, but this will only take 2 or 3 
minutes to answer:

1.  Does your institution presently have climate change information in some 
form?  You can answer this very briefly by stating: exhibits, programs, web 
site, floor demos, or however else it is presented.

2.  If your museum doesn’t currently have anything on climate change, but 
would like to, what are the constraints?  This can also be answered briefly 
with such words as:  lack of funding, too controversial, staff not informed 
about the topic, etc.

I thank you in advance for your input.

For all the museums which have already responded so beautifully through 
interviews, you do not need to do so again.  What you have given me already 
is more than adequate and very much appreciated.
