I've enjoyed the Exploratorium in San
Fran, if you're heading that way while in California. And the Museum of
Science in Boston is ace.
If you get a chance to meet Carol Lynn
Alpert at the museum in Boston, do. I found her very helpful and full of
good sense and ideas.

Subject: [PSCI-COM] North America's science centres
Hi everyone,
I've recently arrived in Canada at the start of a four-month trip
across North America, from Toronto, Montreal and Nova Scotia down to
Washington DC, New England, Chicago, Texas and California. I'm going
to be taking in as many planetaria and science centres as I can in
this time, finding out more about Next Generation science centres and
finding out how people on this side of the Atlantic 'do' science
communication.
If you have any ideas of places to go, people to see or things you
would like investigated and uploaded on my blog, then please get in
touch. If you know of anyone at any science centres too, then please
forward me their contact details!
Many thanks,
David
