1. AGU SESSIONS OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO THE SUN-
EARTH CONNECTION COMMUNITY
======================================
SEC will have a big presence on the exhibit floor of AGU next
week! (AGU Fall Meeting, December 10-14 at the Moscone
Center in San Francisco). Living with a Star will have two
booths, one with an impressive data show and the other with
appealing educational resources. LWS staff members will help
the Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum (SECEF) recruit
scientists for Sun-Earth Day on March 20, 2001. Lockheed-
Martin always has a great booth with posters. Be sure to stop
by!
And take a look at the sessions that might be of special interest
to you (along with dates, times and places in the Moscone

Newsletter Sponsor Information:
Sun-Earth Connection Education Forum
An integral element of the Office of Space Science (OSS)
education and public outreach strategy is the establishment of a
network for space science to foster a wide variety of education
and public outreach activities. This network of institutions
include (1) four Education Forums that serve as major centers
for space science education and public outreach in each of the
four OSS Themes, and (2) a set of regional Broker/Facilitators who,
for example, help arrange collaborations between scientists and
the education community. The Sun-Earth Connection Education
Forum (SECEF) is a partnership led by Goddard Space Flight
Center and UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. To learn
more about SECEF and the Office of Space Science Education
and Public Outreach program, go to
