NUCLEAR POWER: HISTORY REVISITED

20th International Conference on Health and Environment:
Global Partners for Global Solutions

August 2011

 
Throughout the 2-month period of the summer internship, WIT invited a number of speakers with different academic and professional backgrounds to talk to the interns and share with them their expertise. The interns had the opportunity to discover new facts, knowledge, and interests presented by experts in various fields.
 
The Ecology Enquirer Speaker’s Program serves as a brief description of this learning experience. In this issue, readers will find not only summaries of the content of each speech, but also the impacts made by the speakers on our internship experience. This unique opportunity provided by WIT undoubtedly broadened our knowledge horizon and cleared up misconceptions we might have had.
