The contrast in weather from coast to coast on February 14 and 15, 2007 was dramatic. On the way to the AAAS Annual Meeting in San Francisco many conference-goers found themselves stranded in airports among thousands of other travelers prompting Congress to introduce a passenger’s bill of rights. The legislation could make it easier for passengers to get assistance when weather conditions cause delays and cancelled flights.

In downtown San Francisco, however, the skies were blue and the sun was out for the duration of the meeting.

Robert Payo, NSDL Core Integration Education and Outreach, co-presented two workshops along with Pathways partners BEN, The Engineering Pathway and MatDL as well as introducing Exhibit Hall visitors to NSDL tools and resources.
