During the first day, a summary of research activities in the 2007-2008 programs on Risk Analysis, Extreme Events and Decision Theory, Random Media, and Environmental Sensor Networks will be presented. During days two through five, participants will be involved in a hands-on experience. They will use mathematical and statistical models to analyze experimental data they collect in the CRSC/Math Instructional Research Lab (see www.ncsu.edu/crsc/) on the NC State University campus.

Fall course on Science Policy

This from Dean Cohen about an STS class.  Contact me if you wish to register for the course.

Dear Folks,

Dr. Genene Fisher, Senior Policy Fellow at the Policy Program of the American Meteorological Society, will offer a course(PMS 498 E)  on current issues in science policy in Fall 2008.  I have attached a draft syllabus that describes the course.

The course will also be listed as PS 498 E. There will be 15 seats available for PAMS students and 15 seats for PS students.

I am excited that our students will have this opportunity.  The course is a natural one for the Science, Technology and Society general education list and I would suggest that any student who would like to use this course to fulfill his or her STS requirement be allowed to do so. Pam Long will send out a note to all of our  undergraduate students with the attached syllabus and I will let them know that if they wish to  use the course for the STS requirement, they will need your approval.

Jo-Ann
