We need scientists and other professionals in the STEM fields to view posters and costumes at the Colors of Nature exhibit on Friday, July 17, from 2 to 3 p.m. in the Murie Building lobby. Girls going into 5th, 6th and 7th grades blended the art and science of color to create the costumes.

The ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ of Natural Science and Mathematics hosts the the Colors of Nature summer academy. It is a two-week program where girls interested in art explore the physics and biology of color. They then apply what they've learned to artistic endeavors including their final project — designing and making costumes.

If you would like to attend, RSVP to Colors of Nature summer academy director Laura Conner at ldconner@alaska.edu. For more information about the program, go to .
