The purpose of this workshop was to share new data being developed by several agencies and connecting science to implementation. Presentations were not academic discussions but rather summaries of a few recent and important findings and their implications for planning. The conference convened over forty experts from around the country to discuss pressing problems and next steps . Notes from this informative briefing are being compiled and will be available on the BCSET website in the near future, however several presentations are now available for viewing. |
