Taking a hint from rock stars, the researchers from Polar-Palooza, a multimedia project supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, are going on national tour of some 14 cities this year.

In three-day appearances at each location, the “cast” of scientists will present “Stories from a Changing Planet,” with video and authentic props, workshops for educators, and briefings for the press. The tour starts off in Washington, D.C.,  on March 13-14 at the National Geographic Museum and crisscrosses the country into the fall.
