Hello!
Monday, June 6th at 1et/12ct Public Lab will be hosting an OpenHour on "Exploring Proof." This OpenHour will examine what good evidence is, and how people collect it. We will explore concepts of proof, likelihood, and evidence in math, science, and law. Joining us for this OpenHour are three community researchers on specific case studies with legal applications of community-collected environmental data:

- Noelle Francois will discuss how HeatSeekNYC’s internet-of-things sensor approach to slumlord accountability fares in NYC’s Municipal Housing Court.

- Scott Eustis will recount how an oblique kite photo of a conical pile of coal dust met the legal definition of “ongoing pollution” bringing about a $75,000 fine to United Bulk Terminal on the Mississippi River.

- Jackie Creedon will discuss the role of air samples collected with GCMs bucket in what has become the 2nd largest victory ever under the Clean Air Act (Tonawanda Coke).

Mark your calendars and join us online on the OpenHour page Monday, June 6th! 
-Stevie
