As the host of the popular public radio talk show, The Diane Rehm Show, which is distributed nationally and internationally by NPR and NPR Worldwide, Diane Rehm has interviewed many high-profile political and cultural figures during her 36 years in radio. In 1998, her career nearly came to a halt because of a mysterious speech problem which was finally diagnosed as spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological disorder. Not one to be defeated, she returned to the show and made a point of bringing attention to the condition. Diane has been the recipient of many awards and has written two autobiographical books.

May 27 - Opening Day
The Scoop on Poop
Opens May 27, 2010 - Open Daily

Fish do it, frogs do it, pythons, eagles and elephants do it, yet poop is one of those subjects we find difficult to talk about with a straight face. Kids, however, are positively fascinated by it, and poop is interesting stuff, really! Animals use poop to build homes, hide from enemies, attract mates, send messages, and cool off - some even eat it. Veterinarians, farmers, naturalists, paleontologists, Maasai tribesmen and power companies use it too. And poop is a scientific puzzle. With a little detective work, you can learn a lot about an animal by what it leaves behind.

The Scoop on Poop is a traveling exhibition based on the popular book by science writer Dr. Wayne Lynch. It leads visitors on an investigation of what poop is and how both animals, people, and even power companies, use it. Visitors can listen in on an bear's digestive system, learn the language of poop in countries around the world, examine fecal samples in a veterinarian's lab, compete in dung beetle races, track wild animals by clues left in scat, see how long it takes an elephant to poop their body weight, improve their #2 IQ in stool school, and meet a dinosaur dung detective.

The Scoop on Poop was created by the exhibits department of Clyde Peeling's Reptiland in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, a zoological institution accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. It is the largest exhibition ever mounted about the science of scat.
