<div style="MARGIN: 0px">Dear colleagues,</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><br> </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px">This is to let you know about a screening of the forthcoming PBS documentary film "The Last Speakers", which features the problem of language endangerment and what scientists and native communities are doing about it.
</div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><br> </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px">The film portrays work on endangered languages in Siberia, South Africa, Taiwan, the U.S. and elsewhere (for more info see <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.ironboundfilms.com/ironsfire.html" target="_blank">

<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><br> </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><span>The 1-hour film will be screened at the <b>American Association for the Advancement of Science </b>Annual Meeting in St. Louis, MO, on Friday, February 17, noon to 1:30, in the America's Center, Lobby Level Washington Room F.
</span></div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><br> </div>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px"><span>This is in association with the AAAS Career Fair, where young scientists and students learn about interesting science careers. Entry is free of charge. <b>After the film, I will participate in a Q & A session.
</b></span></div>
<p style="MARGIN: 0px"> </p>
<div style="MARGIN: 0px">The AAAS Annual Meeting is also the largest annual gathering of science media, with crews from all over the US, as well as BBC, CBC, Netherlands, Australia, etc., so there should also be some interesting interactions with the media as well.
</div>
