Natalie Ingram (Marine Science '14) and Margaret Williams (Biochemistry '14) have been chosen to attend the 19th Conference of Parties at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) November 11-15, 2013. This year's conference of 195 countries will be held in Warsaw, Poland.

The opportunity is sponsored by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as a part of its commitment to education on climate change.  Ingram and Williams will be blogging, tweeting, and updating various social media sites to evoke youth conversation about this topic.

Sources of funding that have allowed the students to participate in the UNFCCC include the UNE College of Arts and Sciences Dean's Office, Department of Chemistry and Physics, Department of Environmental Studies, Maine ACS, NACSETAC, the James Sulikowski Research Lab, and the generosity of friends and family.
