NASA, AMERICAN GEOPHYSICAL UNION HOST NASA SOCIAL IN SAN FRANCISCO

WASHINGTON -- NASA and the American Geophysical Union are inviting
social media followers to a unique behind-the-scenes NASA Social on
Tuesday, Dec. 4, in San Francisco. The event will bring 20 social
media users together with some of the world's best and brightest
scientific minds at the world's largest Earth and solar system
science conference.

NASA Socials are in-person meetings with people who engage with the
agency through Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and other social networks.
Participants will get special access to parts of the AGU meeting and
meet with NASA and other scientists presenting research on Earth's
climate, deep ocean exploration and the latest findings from Mars.
Additionally, guests will sit in on a press conference, attend a
panel on deep ocean exploration with film-maker James Cameron and a
NASA astrobiologist, explore the expansive exhibit hall, and meet
fellow science enthusiasts who are active on social media.

Registration is open from noon EST Wednesday, Nov. 14, to 5 p.m.
Friday, Nov. 16. NASA and the AGU will select 20 participants at
random from Web registrants. Additional applicants will be placed on
a waiting list. Because of space limitations, those selected will not
be permitted to bring a guest. Each participant must be age 18 or
older. For more NASA Social and sign up information, visit:
