Exhibit Development @Exhibit Consultant

I have helped develop exhibits for Intersolar North America, National Renewable Energy Research Laboratory and the California Energy Center. The exhibits include a celebration of the fiftieth and sixtieth anniversaries of the silicon solar cell; the fiftieth anniversary of the first practical use of photovoltaics - the Vanguard satellite; and the story of the step-by-step development of solar cells and their applications. All three exhibits traveled throughout the world, featured at venues such as the World Photovoltaic Energy Conference and the EU Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference. The Franklin Institute credits my book, A Forest Journey, as the inspiration for the similarly named exhibit designed by the Institute and has traveled throughout the United States.In 2019 I served as the lead curator of a major exhibit based on a symposium I led a year before titled,\"Science Knows No Gender: In Search of Eunice Foote, Who Discovered Global Warming 162 Years Ago.\" The exhibit opened in the fall of 2019 celebrating the 200th anniversary of the mother of climate change.
