The topics for this year’s SBC science session are Fisheries Oceanography, Civil & Environmental Engineering, and Community Nursing. Each topical session will include one researcher presenting an overview of the field, followed by a second researcher discussing their own research within the field. This year’s Capstone will feature Citizen Science in Academic Libraries with a combined program that begins with an interactive presentation of tiered options for getting your library involved in citizen science, followed by a discussion with UMass Dartmouth faculty on their work integrating citizen science into classrooms.

Students, faculty, librarians, library workers, and anyone interested in learning more about science, health sciences, and technology are encouraged to attend this conference! Please share this opportunity with your colleagues in BLC and beyond!
