Hello all , I posted this to ASTC Community discussion but have not received much of a response so I thought I would try to expand the conversation.
I am wondering if any museums, especially those that have health exhibits, are presenting programs or developing resources that might help with education about the Ebola crisis. When all the publicity was at its height here in US it was clear that one of the biggest problems in US was not the disease itself but the lack of public understanding about a whole range of aspects of the epidemic. And it also seems a great example of how science works. In retrospect the advice and knowledge of the science community has held up regarding how to prevent and stop the spread here. Now the crisis continues abroad and seems a great example of our global connections. Wondering if any have developed or are planning to develop resources for what seems like a "teachable moment. "I see on ASTC website that NSF has made rapid funding available for public education on this Thanks, Gretchen
