The Exhibits can be viewed in Academy Hall, Level 1 of Moscone West from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. today and from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. In addition, an author from each Exhibit will be available on Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to provide information and answer questions regarding the Exhibit.

Although all the Scientific Exhibits present valuable information, three are stand-outs, according to the Exhibits Committee.
