The CREST/Jane Goodall Science Symposium for 2007 will be this Friday, February 29. It will take place at West Linn High School this year. This is the seventh year for this event in honor of Dr. Goodall, who came to the first year’s symposium. Dr. Goodall will be coming to our area April 23, in conjunction with the Roots and Shoots program she is affiliated (as are we) with.
Students at all grade levels may set-up a science project display to be viewed by the public between 7 and 7:30 PM on that day. They will have an opportunity to tour the rest of the fair and to talk to the public about their own project, as well as participate in some hands-on science activities taking place from 6/7:30. This is not a judged fair.
There will be a keynote address by Dr. Kent Thornburg, a pediatric cardiologist who is known internationally as an expert in cardiopulmonary physiology, placentology, and especially, developmental programming of the heart and the roots of adult-onset coronary artery disease. His address will delve into this topic and is titled Your Grandmother, Your mother, You and Your Kids. His address will be at a high school student level, so primary student may not understand all that is discussed. His address will start at 7:30 PM, immediately after the Science Fair projects are taken down. You are most welcome, but not required to stay for the talk. There will be an awards assembly beginning at 8:30 PM, for the
ISEF International Science and Engineering Fair.
