The Community, Science and Environmental Policy Brown Bag Discussion provides a forum for airing policy and science issues that affect the community. It facilitates communications between the public and the many science institutions located around Bayboro Harbor in St. Petersburg to jointly address issues of common interest.
Our discussions are open to all. Topics span land, the atmosphere and oceanic environments, and the interaction between them, humans, and other living organisms. We focus on whether and how science and technology can provide solutions to our everyday problems. Each session fosters healthy and civilized debates on current and controversial topics.
