Dear Educators:
The Museum is buzzing with activity. November is Health Awareness Month, featuring
weekly presentations by leading researchers. School groups from all over are
sharpening their observation skills as they solve the crimes in CSI: The
Experience, on exhibit through January 1. In this issue, we extend an
invitation to join our new teacher partner program which provides exclusive
benefits for you and your students. We
also offer a preview of upcoming exhibits and films.
