| Outreach at Boston Museum of Science |
UMass MRSEC Outreach programs, VISUAL and Polymers All Around Us, visit the Boston Museum of Science for the 3rd consecutive year. Images from VISUAL are digitally displayed this summer on a 72" plasma screen in the Museum of Science's Gordon Current Science and Technology Center.
Graduate student volunteers Chelsea Davis, Felicia Bokel, Brittany Deronde, Jon Pham, and Brian Cromer accompanied by Greg Dabkowski (MRSEC Outreach Coordinator) and Ryan Hayward (MRSEC Associate Director for Education and Diversity) visited the museum on August 24, 2011. They engaged an estimated 500 visitors with a presentation on polymers and also the Polymers All Around Us program - a series of hands-on demonstrations on polymers.
