>Dear Algal Community
>
>The Phycological Society of America, through its Applied Phycology 
>Committee, is organizing a booth at the National Science and Engineering 
>Fair, at the Convention Center in Washington, D.C. in April, 2012. 
>Needless to say, we want to provide an exciting and informative agenda for 
>all visitors, but particularly young people thinking of careers in 
>science. While the emphasis will be on the ways in which algae provide 
>economic or conservation value, this is also an opportunity to educate 
>about the broad biodiversity and biospheric importance of algae.
>Two concepts under consideration are: 1.) A continuous video loop of one 
>half to one hour to present 6-12 commercial (or potentially commercial) 
>and conservation projects. A timetable would be present below to indicate 
>when visitors to the booth could arrive to view a particular project; 2.) 
>An overhead banner, such as the attached, to emphasize the global 
>importance of algae (note this image was the initiating slide of a power 
>point on algal biofuels; it should be expanded to indicate the great 
>polyphyletic diversity of algae). We do need some interactive concepts.
>As co-chairs of the booth, Charlie Yarish and I are soliciting ideas that 
>maximize educational content in the very limited venue of a convention 
>center booth. (note: the PSA booth will be located near a “bio-bus” with 
>microscopes and other laboratory equipment. We would also like to have 
>seaweed environments presented in the continuous loop video and the 
>“bio-bus”.)
>Please e-mail Walter Adey (<mailto:Adeyw at si.edu>Adeyw at si.edu) and/or 
>Charlie Yarish (<mailto:charles.yarish at uconn.edu>charles.yarish at uconn.edu) 
>with your exciting concepts. Please note: we are working with a very 
>limited budget, and donations of any kind that support ideas will be most 
>appreciated.
