<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 8pt"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">Once again the School of Plant Sciences will participate in Science City during the Tucson Festival of Books.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">The event will be on Saturday and Sunday, March 14-15,
</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3"> </font></span><font size="3">9 am to 5 pm each day.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">In Science City, the School’s presentation will include two tables with 3 separate modules of interactive content.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">There will be other presentations during the Tucson Festival of Books that host more specific content from the School of Plant Sciences, such as the Plant and Fungal Herbaria, the Arboretum, and the MycoCats, but the SPLS tables
will present our School’s broad research program and mission.<o:p></o:p></font></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 8pt"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">As you might have surmised, we need personnel to man these tables during the entire 2 days.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">Our presentation will require 3 persons minimum, and we will rotate our presenters in 2-hour shifts.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">This means we will need 24 2-hour shifts for the whole event; set up and take down shifts will require an extra hour.
</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3"> </font></span><font size="3">Please encourage personnel from your lab to volunteer time for this event and we hope that faculty, staff, postdocs and graduate students will all participate.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3">
</font></span><font size="3">The 3 interactive modules will each be easily directed and all information necessary to lead these outreach activities will be provided. </font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"><font size="3"> </font></span><font size="3">This is
a great opportunity to show your Plant Science spirit and help out the School’s outreach effort, so join the fun at the Tucson Festival of Books!<o:p></o:p></font></font></p>
