What is the Science Education Seminar?

The Science Education Program Seminar bi-weekly meeting where professors, students, and those interested in research in science education can interact, present research (at any stage of progress), and engage in lively critical discussion.  Presentations range from completed, polished talks to open-ended discussions around a potential research question.
