Information for Observers of the June 11 forum
Thank you again for agreeing to join us for Sea Level Rise and Extreme Precipitation: Preparing for Boston’s Uncertain Future at the Museum of Science, Boston on Sunday, June 11, 2017. Please do not share these logistics with anyone else, as we are only accepting participants and observers who we have confirmed at this point.
Below you will find an agenda and transportation information. It is very important that you arrive no later than 8:30AM, so the program can begin promptly at 9AM. We will begin with a welcome in the d’Arbeloff suite on the 3rd floor of the Museum’s Red Wing, and then move to the Planetarium for the first part of the program. There will be signs and volunteers to direct you.
