Sharing opportunities for partnerships
between education and research institutions is a main goal in our taking part in conferences like this..
Science researchers and educators need each other, and must work well with one another. For the science that reaches the public to be sound; and for the research to be understood, appreciated and supported by the people of California.
Funding is often more available when programs have both a research and education component.
Our volunteers help to bring education and science research programs on climate change together. Each has resources that the other lacks. Together, we are making great strides.

The conference's keynote speakers gave powerful messages on why it is so essential that education and research be linked.
