12:00 pm, Wed May 23, 2012 –

Put-in-Bay, OH Stone Laboratory, Ohio State University’s island campus on Lake Erie, has announced its new Guest Lecture Series for the summer of 2012. Beginning on Thursday, June 14, the series offers a unique opportunity to hear authorities from their respective fields speak on a variety of issues facing Lake Erie.

Researchers will give brief summaries of their research at 7 p.m. and lectures will last from roughly 7:45 p.m. to 9 p.m. Guests are invited to take a Lake Erie Water Taxi, at their own expense, at 6:30 or 7:15 p.m. from the Boardwalk Restaurant dock to Gibraltar Island, where they will be given a short tour before the lecture.

The public can view the lectures and research briefs via a live web seminar from any computer with internet access. Connection is simple and fast.

The lectures also will be broadcast live into the Stone Laboratory Office at 1314 Kinnear Road on the Ohio State main campus. Please RSVP by contacting the office at 614.292.8949.
