[PCST] New report on informal science learning

[Bruce Lewenstein]

Friends and colleagues,

For the last few years I've been helping lead a massive literature 
review on "learning science in informal environments" -- what do we 
actually know about what people learn?

The U.S. National Academies of Science have today released the report: 
http://www.nationalacademies.org/morenews/20090114.html.

The press release link summarizes the report.  Click on the "full 
report" link and scroll down to read the report for free online, or pay 
to download .pdf versions.
