| Marin Science Seminar http://www. |
The Science Seminar is a one-hour lecture presentation (with a question and answer period) designed for high school students in the San Rafael High School District, but open to all interested Marin teenagers, educators, and their families. Seminar speakers are scientists, mathematicians, engineers, physicians, and computer programmers with relevant degree and public speaking experience. Wonderfest collaborates with MSS to find good speakers and to enlarge the Marin audience for science exploration — thus enhancing the concept of “scientific community” in the North Bay. …With great thanks to MSS founder and driving force Alfia Wallace. |
| Mt. Tam Astronomy Program
http://mttam.net/astronomy. |
MTAP is an educational program designed to give the general public and students of all ages a better understanding of our universe by hearing about current theories and discoveries followed by an opportunity to observe through telescopes. Wonderfest and MTAP collaborate to present science speakers — principally astronomers and physicists — for the enlightenment and intellectual thrill of the general public. …With big thanks to MTAP creator and guiding light, Tinka Ross. |
| Bay Area Skeptics | BAS encourages rational thought and critical thinking through the use of scientific methods. BAS interest is particularly drawn to claims of the paranormal, pseudoscience, and untested or poorly tested medical and psychotherapeutic practices. Wonderfest is grateful to the BAS Board of Directors — in particular to its President Genie Scott. |
| Ask a Scientist | AaS, the first science cafe in San Francisco, collaborates with Wonderfest to produce many public events. Wonderfest is especially indebted to AaS founder Juliana Gallin. |
