PSI Senior Scientist Jennifer Grier offered a 90-minute presentation at the two-day “Weaving Connections” Women’s Retreat held at the Unitarian Universalist congregation of Columbia, Maryland. Grier led attendees through activities to help them visualize the size and scale of the universe, and she shared details about the nature and composition of our Solar System using PSI meteorite kits. About 20 participants, aged 32 through 83, examined the meteorite samples, and learned about planets and asteroids.
