Notes:


Our group is located in Northern California at Sonoma State University. We are part of the Physics and Astronomy Department and call ourselves the NASA Education and Public Outreach Group. Our group is led by Professor Lynn Cominsky, she is the lead of five NASA funded projects and 1 California Project. The one California project is called The North Bay Science Project and is a California Subject Matter Project. The five NASA projects are; the Educator Ambassador Program a master teacher program that trains master teachers to go all around the country to teach the science behind our missions to other educators. We have the Education and Public Outreach portion of three different satellite missions, Swift- A Gamma Ray Burst Mission, XMM-Newton- a X-ray Spectroscopy mission and GLAST-general gamma-ray mission. We also do the Press for the Swift and GLAST missions. But today I will be concentrating on the GLAST mission.
