PWP News and Resources

PWP News will move to a website format in April. The current Blog format does not provide me with the ability to present “Resources” in the manner I prefer. I hope to be able to present a “one stop shopping” style resource I had set my goal for; i.e. events in the community, related links for all with science interest, with general community interest, with interest in between.

Thank you for your interest in my Blog. Carolyn
