This passed weekend the Florida Academy of Sciences hosted its 74th Annual Meeting March 19-20 at Indian River State College, Fort Pierce. As part of that meeting, Florida Citizens for Science conducted a seminar:
For those of us who were visiting Indian River College for the first time, we were all very impressed with the excellent facilities in the conference room, with outstanding audio visual aids.
The meeting was quite well supported (around 30 people) made up of students, faculty members and several professors who were there attending the FAS conference.
All of the speakers, David Campbell, Debra Walker and Wes Elsberry did a wonderful job and were very well received, managing to get their points across in spite of the strict time restrictions placed on them by the ever vigilant Joe Wolf. In the last segment of the meeting Kathy Savage moderated an open discussion for ideas that would assist the FCS in promoting science education. The responses from the audience produce a lively atmosphere with some great ideas and suggestions. I received many positive comments from those in attendance and in all I think the seminar was an outstanding.success.
