ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

When you have an exhibition that is or is perceived to be controversial how
much of an effort do you put into informing staff, educating staff, trying
to convince staff of the science so that they can converse with visitors in
an "appropriate manner"? How about for any exhibition? How much effort do
you put into informing—
non educational staff—general staff?

Or is that not perceived to be important?
