Cornell Cooperative Extension celebrates its centennial this year.Kathryn Boor, the Ronald P. Lynch Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences, delivered the first in a series of lectures sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Extension to celebrate its centennial. Boor’s lecture focused on the importance of science in everyday life and CCE’s role in engaging people of all ages.
“When science is applied to the situations that we encounter in everyday life, we have a framework from which to make observations and to implement changes that ultimately will lead to novel solutions to improve human lives,” Boor said. “When we are engaged as a society in the application of scientifically derived knowledge, the benefit is magnified.”
