PWC Annual Banquet, Thursday, March 15th, 2018
It was a wonderful evening at Salty’s on Alki for the PWC Annual Banquet!
Our speaker Dr. Richard E. Shope III can be reached through worldspacefoundation.org.
The Art of Communicating Science
Scientific inquiry is an adventure of going where curiosity beckons. Dr. Shope has made it his mission to inspire the public, and especially young people, to develop a lifelong connection with science. A student of the late Marcel Marceu, and former consultant for JPL and the Los Angeles Unified School District, Dr. Shope is currently President & CEO of World Space Foundation, an organization dedicated to mentoring students in their discovery of the scientific method through research, reading, writing, speaking, and acting, including – yes – mime!
