Join the APS for this Civic Season Kick-Off as we learn about Charles Willson Peale and his idea of what makes a good citizen. Discover details about the megalonyx jeffersonii, and the great incognitum and what role science played in early American politics. Engage in some hands-on activities: identify fossils, de-stress with some coloring, and leave a note on our talk-back wall about an educated citizenry.
