Events

By now most of you have had a chance to get used to the changes at BlueNC. Our look may be streamlined and clean, but the new blocks for special features provide us with a huge challenge. We have to keep fresh information in the blocks every day or two while maintaining fresh posts on the front page every few hours. Thank you for bearing with us as we try to adapt to these new demands on our time and the new requirements for our site plan.

Today I'd like to point out BlueNC's resurrected events calendar. Down in the center of the bottom block you will find a listing of events. If you click on the word "more" it will take you to a calendar where you can scroll through the months. We obviously are in need of some more events on our calendar.

I’ve only ever seen Dr. Tyrone Hayes speak once, but it left an impression. What a smart, well spoken, impassioned, and all around cool guy! What important work he’s doing, and what a horrible and fantastic story he has to tell about corporate influence over science and speaking truth to power!

I’m thrilled to be heading up the team that’s bringing Dr. Hayes to speak in North Carolina next week. He’ll be giving a presentation titled From Silent Spring to Silent Night: Pesticides, the link between amphibian declines and cancer, and what you should know on the campus of NC Central University on Thursday, March 8th at 7 PM. That morning, he will also be speaking to an audience of Durham middle and high school students at NCCU. It’s not too late to register to attend either presentation, so get on it!
