All web seminar participants use online tools that allow them to mark-up presenter's slides or share desktop applications in addition to engaging in chat with others online and answering poll questions

Join us for this unique program, two free Web Seminars featuring scientists and education specialists from the Food and Drug Administration, FDA. These seminars are related to the FDA Symposium that will take place at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The presenters will share their science expertise, answer questions from the participants, and provided information regarding web sites that students can use in the classroom.


These Web Seminars were designed for educators of grades 5-12. Topics could include disease, outbreaks, nutrition, personal hygiene, as well as cosmetic and food safety. An archive of this program and related PowerPoint presentation will be available at the end of the program.


Each web seminar is a unique, stand-alone, program. Archives of the Web Seminars and the presenters’ PowerPoint presentations will be available through the links on this web page. Learn more about the features of the Web Seminar and read answers to frequently asked questions from participants.
