Dr. Veverka’s talk will be from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
The topic, “Algae to Biofuels: The Answer to America’s Gas Pains?” will answer how can this "green stuff" that grows in our swimming pools or our dog's water dish provide the answer to our nation's growing energy needs? Come find out what is happening in the algae to biofuels research community, how private companies, academic institutions, and our government are working to find solutions and when you might actually see "algae fuels" at the pump!
