Science City features hundreds of hands-on activities, "allowing the public the opportunity to talk to scientists about planets, astronomy, animals, physics, geology, legumes, seeds and more!" Last year we added a School of Plant Science perspective to the
event, and since my lab is a microbiology lab, we talked to the public about environmental microorganisms. We signed up again and were hoping to include more volunteers from our department for this
<b>fun and impactful outreach</b> to Tucson residents and beyond.</div>

We want to invite you to join this us in this event. We are looking for interested individuals who are able to spend
<b>~2 hours on either Saturday March 14 or Sunday March 15</b> at the booth. We already have an activity planned to share with the public, so we'll also ask that you join us for a planning/information session on<b> Thursday March 5<sup>th</sup> at 515PM at
Marley 541H</b> where we will show everyone the outreach activity we do at the event, and discuss what to expect. If you cannot make this and still want to participate, please reach out to me (rschomer@arizona.edu). An added bonus of participating is that
we are right in the center of the Tucson Festival of Books, so you can work at the booth and then go check out a talk by your next favorite author!</div>

share with folks you think would be interested.</div>
