Now you and your students have the chance for more direct and extensive interaction with world-class experts than ever before.

For the first time, LFRF will not only answer a few, selected e-mail questions directly, on air, during the live program, but also provide a panel of researchers to individually answer e-mail questions submitted during the program, and for the hour immediately following. It’s an experiment, so we hope you’ll participate and help us push the envelope during the 3 LFRF programs.

The questions will flow into the Smithsonian Institution’s Electronic Classroom, at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., operated by NMNH’s Natural Partners Program, and be answered by specialists from the Smithsonian’s Biodiversity Programs. You should soon receive an answer back, and the entire "onair" archive of questions and answers can be accessed below.

Here are past archives that you can link to.
