Captain’s Log. Stardate 80317.5. The 30th anniversary of Super Science Saturday approaches. These are the voyages of NSF NCAR & UCAR. Its continuing mission: to explore our planet Earth; to seek new answers to complex questions; and to boldly go where no one has gone before. Set phasers to fun, and prepare your crew to live long and wonder at this year’s free public science celebration.
