Scientific Integrity Conference at Purdue
Scientific Integrity Conference at Purdue University
Because you live in Indiana, we thought you might want to know about "Integrity of Science in the 21st Century," a free conference at Purdue University on March 31 and April 1, 2006.
The conference will feature a number of experts discussing the intersection of science and policy, particularly in the life sciences, and student-led workshops on ways that students can make their voices heard on these important issues. While the conference is open to faculty members, teachers, and community members, it is geared towards students and student activism.
Please forward this message to any students--high school, undergraduate, or graduate--who you think might be interested in attending the conference.
Dr. Arden Bement, director of the National Science Foundation, will present the keynote address. Click here to view the tentative conference agenda.
Students who pre-register will be given free meals and housing (with Purdue students). You can register here.
This is a great opportunity for students who are interested
in the use and misuse of science and would like to explore how they can become
effective voices for science. The conference is sponsored by Student Pugwash
USA, an organization that promotes social responsibility in science and technology.
Questions about the conference should be directed to Sharlissa
Moore at Student Pugwash USA.
