A discussion about this needs to include Higher Education and also Elementary and Secondary Education. So we need participants in this talk with expertise in both evidence, SOL and Science Communication. In today's Roundtable we have an amazing line up! They are all SOL experts, they work in higher Education, and they are doing state of the art work in the area of Science Communication. Our…
