Hello Aggie Scientists!
In case you haven’t heard, this week is ‘Science Week’ at USU, and the Science Council has planned exciting events for each day through Friday, November 8th. This year’s theme is “In This Together,” and the week’s events celebrate the disciplines of all six of the College of Science’s departments. Additionally, the lunchtime activity “Where are the Corals Going?’ on Wednesday, November 6th is meant to bring attention to ocean acidification and climate change. We invite you to join us for as many of the following events as you can:
