Welcome to the celebration of 2009 as the Year of Science, a national year-long celebration of science to engage the public in science and improve public understanding about how science works and why science matters. Year of Science 2009 includes monthly themes for planning activities, suggested activities, event listings, and links to related sites. From the Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS), a grassroots network of universities, government agencies, and others.
