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

Hi Folks,
We are looking to pilot a program that would bring
researchers/scientists into our exhibit hall to make informal
presentations ( about 10-20 minutes long) about their work to the
public. I've seen several styles of this "ask the expert" kind of
program.
I'm looking for ideas and advice from those of you who have seen or
run successful programs that aren't simply a "stand and deliver"
style. What works, both for the public and the scientists? What
pitfalls should we be aware of? Since we're at a university, we're
thinking of offering training in public speaking/interpretation to a
cadre of graduate students, in exchange for them making their
research work more accessible to the public.
Any comments or suggestions would be welcome!
Lisa
