I thought you folks should see what our (then) Oxford Professor of Public
Understanding of Science was saying about your San Francisco Exploratorium
in 2007.

I actually feel honoured that he also criticised my own Exploding Custard
science show in the same breath, despite confessing that he'd never seen it.

I guess there are also influential opinion-formers in the USA with similarly
damaging ignorance about informal science education and communication.

Another 'hard-to-reach' target audience!

Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
