...severe that the Earth’s oceans froze over completely. According to some, it could happen again. And ESPPers are the only ones who will be equipped to stop it! And if it isn’t enough that ESPP concentrators can stop a new ice age or rub elbows with Al Gore when he comes to visit ESPP 10 (it happened in 2004), they may also get a surprise trip to Madagascar. Professor Glenn Adelson, the recipient of two Levenson Teaching awards, takes his junior tutorial, “Conservation, Nature, and Biodiversity...
