During 2007, NCED participated in a National Geographic Channel documentary entitled "Naked Science: Dino Meteor." NCED Director Chris Paola, NCED Postdoctoral Research Associate Doug Jerolmack, and Junior Scientist Craig Hill all participated in demonstrations that appeared in the documentary. NCED also received local attention in The Rake magazine: read about NCED and the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL), or tour SAFL with NCED Education Director Karen Campbell.
In addition to The Rake magazine, NCED appears in a booklet entitled Profiles in Team Science. This booklet includes an overview of all of the National Science Foundation's science and technology centers. To view a pdf of the booklet, click here.
