Highline Community College's Science Seminar returns for Spring Quarter with a full line-up of programs on the scientific world.

Now in its eighth year, Science Seminar continues to draw crowds every Friday afternoon for a number of reasons, said coordinator Dr. Eric Baer.

"I think that there are a few key things that keep it going," Baer noted. "Science is fundamentally cool, neat, fun and exciting so that there are plenty of neat topics to talk about.

"Secondly, the Highline Community College faculty are an incredible bunch of scholars who have both depth and passion - enough to present more than 200 science talks and to keep them interesting enough that people keep coming back year after year.

"Finally, the people at Highline - the students, faculty, administrators, and the general public that are in our area, are at their heart curious and want to learn; while some students do take Science Seminar for credit, the vast majority are there because they just want to hear what someone has to say," Baer added.
