World Science Day

World Science Day for Peace and Development highlights the important role science has in society and is celebrated each year on Nov. 10. A group of interested citizens in Park Rapids will highlight World Science Day from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 10 at the Northwoods Bank Community Room. A highlight of the afternoon events will be a demonstration by the Nevis High School Robotics team, the Tech-No-Tigers, coached by Rusty Uscola. Speakers on the afternoon’s agenda will be Danielle Pinnick, North Dakota State University Center for Immunization Research and Education; Erica Bjelland, RREAL (Rural Renewable Energy Alliance); Paul Frank, managing partner of Hemp Solutions of Minnesota; Tiffany Thulinsky, Central Lakes College, MN State Center of Excellence in Agriculture; and Katie Deschene, Toxic Taters. Several organizations also will have displays to provide the opportunity to gather information or ask questions. If your organization includes any aspect of science, you are welcome to provide information at no charge. The local World Science Day event is sponsored by the Hubbard County DFL and Menahga/Park Rapids Indivisible. For more information, contact Lyn Pinnick at 218-564-6162.
