The "Out on a Limb -- Forest Canopies" exhibit will educate people about forest canopies, and illustrate the challenges of canopy access by scientists. A traveling rain forest diorama -- with scaled models of scientists exploring the canopy, and accompanying graphic panels and interactive activities -- will circulate to community venues in southwest Florida, increasing public awareness of how forest canopies are important to life on Earth. Canopy research provides a highly visual, exploratory approach to scientific inquiry that can be effectively communicated to the general public and school groups. Based on research funded by NSF, (DEB-0228871), this project was funded as part of the Communicating Research to Public Audiences program.

“伸出四肢-森林树冠”展览将教育人们了解森林树冠，并说明科学家进入树冠的挑战。 一个旅行雨林立体模型--科学家探索树冠的比例模型，以及伴随的图形面板和互动活动--将在佛罗里达西南部的社区场地循环，提高公众对森林树冠对地球上生命的重要性的认识。 冠层研究提供了一个高度可视化的，探索性的方法，科学探究，可以有效地传达给公众和学校团体。 基于NSF资助的研究（DEB-0228871），该项目作为向公众传播研究计划的一部分获得资助。
