Barbara Cohen has been awarded a two-year Space Grant Fellowship, co-sponsored by the Department of Planetary Sciences.

Barbara reports:
I am a fifth-year PhD student whose research focuses on using noble gas isotope dating techniques to study lunar and other extraterrestrial materials. My Space Grant Fellowship activities for the next two years will revolve around interactive public outreach. I am continuing my rewarding experience with the Space Grant Science Speakers program and hope to increase publicity and use of this program. I will also be working with the Flandreau Planetarium and Science Center on the U of A campus in order to gain experience in exhibit design and public activities in a museum setting. Additionally, I keep my ears open for unique opportunities focused on women and girls in science, such as this fall's WISE booth at KidsFest 97, and the Tucson Girl Scouts' Professional Day.
