Williams, a member of the International Space Station's Expedition 13 crew, will talk to students from the Winter School District in Wisconsin from 9:35 a.m. to 9:55 a.m. CDT Thursday, May 18. The event will be live on the Web and NASA TV's Public and Media channel. Williams and Expedition 13 Commander Pavel Vinogradov will answer questions about their mission from students in grades 3-12. This is a milestone for Williams as Winter, Wis., is his hometown, and his parents are expected to be in the audience. The downlink is generating community-wide involvement to encourage students to pursue careers in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields.
