Coming April 30 — DEERCAM!

Join scientists via live streaming video as they use technology and the scientific process to study the interaction between deer and their environment. This is a pilot distance learning event where you and your students can watch a deer being released after it's fitted with a head-mounted video camera and wireless transmitter. You and your students can e-mail questions and also listen to questions asked via videoconference by other students in Missouri.
