really excited. They talked aboutthat and told other people

I was quite impressed with this whole broader impacts project. It certainly was more

extensive than anything Ive ever participated in.- Scientist Comment

It was great. I enjoyed it and was happy to see such aprofessionalapproach to this. If

we do not do something about raising the level of science literacy in the US we aredoomed!

- Scientist Comment

Just a big thank you to all those involved to make it so easy to be part of this great

program. I am very interested to learn what impact we had and how we might improve itin the future.
