Feedback on the
Annual Science Immersion Workshop

"The one-on-one discussions with top marine scientists built my confidence and inspired me to forge new relationships with experts on my coast. The Metcalf program helped me understand the pressures that scientists face -- to publish, to make their reputations and above all, to be right -- are not that different from my own."  Niki Price, Editor, Oregon Coast TODAY
