The Florida Aquarium, in partnership with the University of South Florida’s NSF funded Coastal Areas Climate Change Education (CACCE), is hosting a climate change education workshop/meeting on Wednesday June 6 from 10AM to 4PM at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa. The meeting will continue to build a statewide climate change education network of science institutions and identify best practices and case studies in climate change education. Jonathan P Smith, VP of Florida Citizens for Science, will be speaking there and discussing the topic of climate change in K-12 science education. If you would like to attend this meeting as a representative of FCS, please contact Jonathan Smith ASAP at cyjonolds@aol.com.
At the 2012 Florida Citizens for Science annual meeting, the board members adopted a policy and agreed to follow the example of the NCSE in promoting the awareness of climate change in our public school system.
