Time for your weekly dose of displacement behavior.
Nothing special to say, except that if you are in the Corvallis area today, please note:
The Oregon State University student water group Hydrophiles has organized a stellar water resources research symposium today, 18 May 2012, at OSU's Memorial Union,Rooms 211,212, and 213. The building is 'MU' on the campus map, at the corner of SW Jefferson Way and SW 26th Street.
Hydrophiles was just named the AWRA Best Student chapter. Congratulations to the entire group! Check out the year's activities:
