CENTC Participates in AAAS Family Science Days

CENTC faculty, staff and students are spreading the news of the importance of catalysis as part of the National Science Foundation exhibit at Family Science Days during the Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Family Science Days takes place on Saturday and Sunday, 18-19 February at the Vancouver Convention Centre, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

This community science showcase—featuring hands-on demonstrations and other family and kid-friendly activities—shines a spotlight on a broad range of educators working to promote an interest in science among the general public. The AAAS Annual Meeting is one of the most widely recognized global science events, with broad global media coverage. The theme of the 2012 meeting is “Flattening the World: Building a Global Knowledge Society”. Visit the AAAS meeting website to learn more.
