Conference on hydrofracking @ UB Law

[Heidi I. Jones]

In case you haven't heard, there's a conference on unconventional natural gas drilling at UB Law next Monday & Tuesday. I'm particularly interested in hearing Tracy Banks, a UB geologist looking at uranium released by fracking, and Hannah Wiseman, a law prof who wrote an excellent article comparing the regulatory frameworks of several Marcellus shale states. It looks like I'll be presenting Tuesday afternoon (Kim just asked me today so I'm not on the schedule).  -hij
