Abstract:

The Sonoma State University (SSU) Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) group contributes to the Fermi Communications and Public Outreach program. For Fermi, we participate in planning and execution of press conferences that feature noteworthy discoveries, as well as supporting social media and outreach websites. We have also created many scientific illustrations for the media, tools for amateur astronomers for use at star parties, and have given numerous public talks about Fermi discoveries.
