So what did we do in April?
It was Earth Month. Patrick gave a speech at a GIPL event, Michael and Amy chatted with community members at an ArtsXchange event, and Jessica attending a book release.
People learned about fixing their breaks and tying some knots at TWO Climate Survival Trainings, Sci4Ga participated in some community engaged research, and our friends in Athens hosted a fantastic Energy and Environment Mayoral Candidate Forum.
On the training side – our fabulous Dept of Decision Science Capstone students shared their work, and our MPH interns got 3rd place at a UGA Poster competition.
Also- we gave some talks on Data Centers. Cause that is what we do.
