*****************************************************************************
Nikki-- Some colleagues and I have been working on producing and evaluating dialogue and discussion forums for the Museum of Science, Boston and the NISE Network. One of the projects that Larry Bell and I worked on sought to understand how informal science education institutions are integrating public engagement with science elements into their programming. You can find our catalog of ISE public engagement with science projects here:

Additionally, the NISE Network has done a lot of work thinking about creating forums around nanotechnology. You can find a nice guide from the NISE Network about how to run forums here:

Materials that you can use to run a NISE Network nanotechnology forum can be found here:

If you have any other questions about these projects, I or my colleagues would love to talk to you further. Just contact me off the list.

Subject: Organizing civil community dialogue about current science issues
ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Our community is seeking a neutral setting to learn more about current science issues and topics
and then engage in civil dialogue, listening to various voices as folks seek to form their own
perspectives on whatever. We're setting up a series structured around a presenter for 30 minutes
followed by 30 minutes of civil conversation.
If anyone has experience with this sort of programming, I'll appreciate your sharing what has
worked well for you and what has not.

"Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?"
