Learn about competingdemands for community resources and why communities might nottrust scientific experts. Join a discussion on putting your skills and knowledgeto work to help your community embrace and use science. You’ll leavewith an action plan to develop relationships with people in your community,and a network of other scientists going through the same process.National Oceanographic Data Center Town HallTuesday, 25 February 2014, 12:45 - 1:45 pmRoom 304 ABAndrew Allegra - Andy.Allegra@noaa.govThis town hall is for both current & future users of NODC data productsand services.
