MARQUETTE — The private and public sectors came together Friday morning with an EPA administrator addressing the Operation Action U.P.’s annual meeting at NMU.
EPA Region Administrator Susan Hedman gave the keynote speech which centered on “Jobs vs. Regulatory Burden.” Hedman was appointed by President Obama in 2010 and is now leading the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. During her speech, Hedman detailed the projects the EPA is focusing on, including three of five areas of concern located within the U.P.
Organizers said both the private and public communities benefit from the sharing of ideas.
“As Dr. Hedman correctly stated, in order to be healthy and wealthy, we have to work together, so it was a wonderful combination of private and public sector efforts, discussions and information,” said Tawni Ferrarini, co-chair of Operation Action U.P.

I reported on the start of this class last week, and sinc ethen, we’ve had three more class meetings. Since this whole thing is an experiment, I’ll keep reporting on it from time to time (heh). First, though, a quick answer to a :
I’d like to hear more about your class on time and timekeeping. How well do you think students learn the big ideas about how science works from these classes, as apposed to a more traditional general physics class? How much transfer do you see in students’ understanding of the content of this course to understanding of science in general?
The answer to this is really short and simple: I have no idea. This is the first time I’m teaching this class, and I’m making it up as I go. I’ll know more in March, maybe.
So, what have we been doing for the past week?
As mentioned in the last report, last Friday’s class involved a look at neolithic timekeeping, in the form of the Newgrange passage tomb, and looked at a bad argument in the form of an Ancient Aliens clip talking about Newgrange.
