light bulbScience Cafe Norman will return from its summer hiatus on September 2, when Leonard Billingsley of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) will speak on the topic of "Gamma Ray Logging and Monitoring Wells."  Mr. Billingsley's work with the OCC deals with the detection of leaks in underground wells, including those beneath gas stations.  Mr. Billingsley developed a technology that uses the detection of gamma rays as a tool for seeking out leaks.

As always, the community is invited to attend Science Cafe Norman and be a part of this community science discussion.

Science cafes are a nation-wide grassroots movement that feature a casual meeting environment where plain language and inclusive conversation create a comfortable atmosphere for people with no science background to learn about ongoing scientific research.
