Event:
"The Big Shale Teach-In" will be taking place at Temple Gallery at Tyler School of Art. The event is meant to be non-partisan, or at least, well-reasoned and informational. It's a good opportunity to learn about historical, legal, environmental and scientific aspects of energy production - fracking specifically of course. I'll be talking about the Marcellus Clay Experiment at the end, with Marcellus rock samples, a demo of the process, and ceramic cups made from the material.
Here's information on the speakers and schedule:
