Tonight at AAAS: Siberian Students Exhibit Climate Art

The AAAS Art of Science and Technology Program will host a public climate-change lecture and art show tonight at 6:00 p.m. in the art gallery of AAAS headquarters, 1200 New York Ave., N.W., Washington D.C.

At the event, a group of schoolchildren from a remote Siberian village will discuss their artistic interpretations of global climate change-now on exhibit at AAAS-and answer questions via video-teleconference. R. Max Holmes, an earth system scientist at Woods Hole Research Center-co-sponsor of the Siberian art exhibit at AAAS-will also give a lecture on how his Arctic field studies led him to develop research collaborations with Siberian students interested in science.
