Science for All—19th Century "Edutainment"
By Michael Apfeldorf
In 19th-century America, one popular way people obtained new scientific information was through traveling lectures and science demonstrations, sometimes held in large halls called “lyceums.” Before the advent of radio and television, these were large public events designed to both educate and entertain. Often, such scientific demonstrations were great spectacles—as much or more about marketing and entertainment as they were about education.

Ecologist
By Luba Vangelova
Ecologists are biologists who study entire ecosystems and the interactions among their living and non-living components. Ecology can be applied in areas such as conservation biology, natural resource management, and even economics. Todd Elliott, who grew up in North Carolina, has been working as a freelance ecologist, photographer, and educator, and is currently working on his PhD in ecology in Australia.
