About Town Square
Welcome to the Academy's newest program - the Town Square Initiative. The Town Square is an exciting new series of discussions, workshops and public forums designed to bring together scientific and policy experts to consider critical environmental issues. The goal is to promote dialogue and thoughtful exchanges on important public issues that relate to sustainability and the environment.

Town Square is an opportunity for the public to hear--and be heard by--some of the most influential scientific experts and key decision makers.Although the programming will usually be held in the Academy's state-of-the-art auditorium here in Philadelphia, they will be webcast to sites around the world. Audience participation, both for the live audience and via e-mail for the remote sites, will be supported and encouraged. For more information visit the Academy of Natural Science website.
