If you haven’t heard, there’s a newly formed Chapter of the Association of Science Communicators (based out of Newport) looking to build a community of practice of science communicators in the area. If you want to learn more, there will be several members at SOTC on Sat, including Reid Harwell and Matt Harwell. Look for them on Sat, or drop a shout if interested in learning more. Contact: harwellm@oregonstate.edu

Are you curious about Oregon Coast Quests? Take part in a Questing adventure in Charleston on Friday afternoon!

Friday, November 14th at 1PM

Meet at the Charleston Fishermen’s Memorial

Charleston Marina, 63534 Kingfisher Rd

RSVP or questions: cait.goodwin@oregonstate.edu

The Charleston Tsunami Quest is a fun and engaging clue-directed hunt that helps people learn about earthquake and tsunami safety at the coast. The walk begins at the Charleston Marina, and as you follow the directions to high ground, you’ll collect letter clues that will help you find the hidden box. Cait will provide the Quest directions and pencils.

The Charleston Tsunami Quest was created in 2017 by a team from the Charleston Marine Life Center. Learn more about Tsunami Quests on the Tsunami Quests website.
