A SPECIAL SciCafé 2010 on the Gulf Oil Spill

We'll have a panel of experts who will address the situation and discuss the impact of oil on Tampa Bay. We'll talk about solutions and what we can do about it.

At this time, we have 130 RSVPs.  Anyone who registers at this time will be wait-listed and can come by. You may be seated.

We will try to accommodate everyone but it might be a challenge! (It's a good one though).
