9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
On Science Series--- Two-Day Workshop, an Exploring Science & Society partnership of The Academy of Science – St. Louis, OASIS, and the University of Missouri – St. Louis
Tour Guide: Jim Jordan, Senior Coordinator Continuing Education, University of Missouri – St. Louis
Sustainable Agriculture conjures up different meanings. The way food is produced has changed in the last century. Advancements in technologies have increased production, but chemical inputs have been implicated in human and environmental health issues. Learn about different perspectives on sustainable agriculture in this comprehensive two-day workshop on The Sustainable Table. Tour Earth Dance Organic Farms on day one and Monsanto’s Agronomics and Breeding Facility on day two. Everyone has a bite in the future of how food is grown.

Mysterious Fossils of the Missouri Ozarks
Time:
1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
On Science Series
Featured Speaker: Bruce Stinchcomb, Ph.D., paleontologist, retired Professor of Geology, St. Louis Community College - Florissant Valley, and author of, World’s Oldest Fossils, Paleozoic Fossils and More Paleozoic Fossils
Lecture and book signing
Within the Missouri Ozarks are extensive fossil-containing exposures of rock strata formed during the Cambrian Period of geologic time and deposited in shallow seas from 500 – 535 million years ago. This geologic era was a time of a great radiation of life with some life forms being obvious ancestors to those living today, while others appear to be totally extinct. Paleontologist and author Bruce Stinchcomb talks about these disappearing life forms represented by peculiar and even mysterious fossils found in the Cambrian of the Missouri Ozarks.
To be held at:
Center of Clayton OASIS
50 Gay Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63105
Registration required. FREE to the first 10 registrants, $10 per person thereafter. OPEN to ALL. Space is limited. Middle and high school students welcome.
