NESTA Speakers at NSTA National
NESTA participation in the annual NSTA National Conference on Science Education includes a day of lectures. These lectures, including the lecture at the NESTA Breakfast on Saturday morning and three Advances in Earth and Space Science Lectures on Saturday usually focus on cutting-edge topics related to a theme for the year and are announced with all the other NESTA activities for the conference. In addition to NESTA lectures, we work collaboratively with the American Geophysical Union to organize and promote the AGU Lecture at the National NSTA Conference. Check below for upcoming talks or check back as the National conference draws closer. See you at the talks!
