Hi ESE – the 12th Annual ESE Symposium is coming up! Please see the information below to find out more about the event and RSVP to participate. It’s going to be a great event!
Please join us for
12th Annual Ecological Sciences and Engineering (ESE) Symposium on Tuesday, March 26th and Wednesday, March 27th!
This year we're asking the Purdue and Lafayette communities to face a common question: what do science communication and the science-public interface look like in a "post-truth world?" The Symposium, titled
In Data We Trust: Perceptions of Science in a Post-Truth World, will be featured as part of the
Purdue Sesquicentennial Ideas Festival addressing a Sustainable Economy and Planet. This year's Symposium events will focus on science communication
(#SciComm) in its many forms and will feature speakers from around the country.
You are invited to join us for the Symposium events. Please visit the links below for each event and RSVP while spaces are available! Visit the
ESE Symposium website to RSVP and to find more symposium information.
