Overview

This is Discover Life's second workshop at Elimira College. We anticipate 20-40 participants. Our goal is to facilitate interactions among researchers, educators, and other participants interested studying and teaching about nature. We will focus on testing scientific hypotheses through community based research and educational efforts. We will discuss how we can work better together and outline joint proposals to various granting agencies. The workshop is in the very formative stages. It will include:
