About the event
James Cassidy is a wildly popular educator at Oregon State University. He is known for his standing-room-only Soil Science class and a presentation style that has earned him fans far beyond the classroom. Before diving into the world of soil, Cassidy was a literal rock star with a Billboard-charting hit, and he now brings that same intensity, charisma, and passion to his talks on soil health, sustainability, and the hidden life beneath our boots.
Expect science, humor, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on the natural systems that support our watersheds and wildflowers. This event is free and open to the public.
