The Foundation and the NYSC Alumni Association will jointly host the third Regional Science Symposium in Atlanta, GA, to stimulate interest in youth science education and social interaction among NYSC alumni and others from the corporate and philanthropic community. The Symposium will start with a reception at 6:00 PM followed by dinner and a lecture on sustainable energy by HP inventor and professor Dr. David Hackleman (NYSC OR 1969). I will also provide a brief report on the NYSC and the Foundation's other programs and plans, including the development and construction of the National Center for Youth Science Education.
I hope that you will consider attending the Symposium, and if you know anyone from the corporate or philanthropic communities who might be interested in the important work of the Foundation, please consider inviting them as our guest.

The International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is also taking place this week. If you would like to be a judge or volunteer please see the website at http://www.intelisef2008.org. Dr. David Hackleman has been a judge before and will be at the Fair for the week, if you have any questions about this, he would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Lecturer Bio:
Dr. David Hackleman arrived on this planet in Coos Bay, Oregon, and for those of you that know the place, observed a cloud-free sky only when his family moved to Klamath Falls. Prior to graduation from High School, he had attended 13 separate schools in various small towns all over Oregon because his father worked for the State Highway department. (Or so he said.) While in junior high school, he received his Amateur Radio License, and a few things happened between that and graduation with honors from OSU in EECS including attendance as a 1969 Camper at NYSC! He then decided Chemistry was more interesting and completed a Ph.D. (or since he studied Electrochemistry, it might be a pH.dE.). He retired from Hewlett Packard Company from his "Chief Technologist" position in the Technology Development Operation (famous for the development of that little known device, the Thermal Ink-Jet Printer. His team developed the inks...) and is teaching at Oregon State University, having been asked to accept the Linus Pauling Chair in Chemical Engineering and not knowing how to say no. His wife, Deb is a senior librarian at OSU, and holds both an MS degree in Library and Computer Science. She has humored his inability to stay to one career for decades now. They both live in a home on a 40 acre tree (BIG TREES) farm about 3 miles outside the town of Suver, Oregon (population about 8). Oh, David holds around 20 patents in various fields. http://biodiesel.oregonstate.edu
