“It was a pleasure speaking with you about polarizing light, crystal birefringence, and some of my work on rock samples from the lower oceanic crust from the Hess Deep expedition… Helix seems to be blooming these days.  Nice work.”  –Naomi Marks, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Scientists from the Exploratorium and the local community offered presentations and interactive workshops at Helix. Visitors had the opportunity to learn about current research and the scientific process directly from scientists, and to explore their understanding of scientific phenomena. Scientists practiced engaging with the public and communicating clearly about their work.
