ESD Communications Digest - July 2011

2011 LBNL Open House

LBNL Public Affairs announced the lab will be hosting another open house this year, scheduled for Saturday, October 15th, 10a.m.-2p.m.. The theme for this years' event is "Cirque du Science: The Greatest Science on Earth".

In conjunction with open house (and for use beyond), we are drafting a series of postcards talking about ESD innovations and highlights.

Do you have something you would like added to or changed in the postcard series? Or, do you have an exhibit idea? Or maybe you want to join in the fun and volunteer? All ideas and suggestions are welcome!

Contact Sam Wright (x7468 - ideally by August 26^th)!
