We will be examining the red planet of Mars through the lens of Mary Roach's book Packing for Mars.  How will humans get to Mars?  What will they find when they get there?  What do we know about Mars already?  These and other topics will be discussed "by the fire" at Yerkes in March.  We hope you will join us!
