from participants and Exploratorium staff supported idea development throughout the day. Facilitators selected two themes—interacting with cells via sound and touch. Participants returned to the biology laboratory for feasibility experiments and further prototyping. These activities created new opportunities for public programming and exhibit development at the Exploratorium. B. Bromoform Production in Seaweed Workshop (Climate Foundation, IBM Research, SFSU, UCSF, University of California Berkeley) Ruminants (e.g., cattle and sheep) produce methane gas
