In this episode, Nicole VanTassel from iExploreScience chats with Ohio teacher Mindy Cottrell about her experience at the NSTA Area Conference in Cincinnati in November of 2019.  They discuss how to prepare for a teaching conference, how to make the most of your time there, and how to reduce the overwhelm you might feel by the time you leave!

If you're planning to attend NSTA Boston in April 2020 or any other science conference, you definitely want to listen to advice from two teachers who have had their fair share of conference experiences!
