“Saving The World Through Science”
Things are coming together pretty rapidly for the 2012 OSTA Fall Conference. There are a couple of major presentations that you just will not want to miss!
First, back by popular demand, the UCO Forensics Institute will offer another of their very popular half-day workshops. These workshops have been very highly regarded by participants since their first offering 2 years ago. There is not another place in the country like the UCO Forensics Science Institute. There is no extra charge for this workshop, but pre-registration is required and space is limited. Select the workshop option when you register online for the conference. Come learn from the best in the business!
Next, Oklahomans for Excellence in Science Education (OESE) is sponsoring a special half-day workshop on Global Climate Change. This workshop will be presented by climate scientists from the University of Oklahoma College of Atmospheric & Geographic Sciences. Oklahoma is home to one of the leading centers of climate research in the country. Come learn from some of the top climate scientists in the world.
These two workshops alone are worth the price of admission, but there is much more!
