Hello,
I'm a member of the ECSIF and will be presenting a poster session on Friday, 11/22 from 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM:
Science for Babies? Why it's important for parents, educators and caregivers to encourage a young child's curiosity right from the startUnfortunately, Friday's poster sessions are all at the same time as the ECSIF meeting. Hopefully our paths will cross at other sessions or events.
Safe travels to everyone attending!
