Many thanks for your interest in my research - it can be such a lonely business so lovely to know MEM is out there!

Thank you for following up on my research. I will say that I have been contacted multiple times by art museum practitioners and researchers about my research because of the MEM submission, so thank you!

As a mother of 3, full time museum educator and student, I love being able to read your newsletter once a month and still feel connected to what is happening in the field. Thanks!

Sr. Director of Education, Academy of Natural Sciences Philadelphia, PA

As someone who puts together a quarterly newsletter, I know how difficult it can be to gather information. I also know how the issue seems to go out into a void, with little feedback. So, thanks for mentioning our newsletter and for continuing your efforts for four years now!

I've found MEM an invaluable tool to keep in touch with the diverse range of current research in informal contexts, both professionally as a science communicator and academically as an education researcher.
