TESTIMONIALS FROM OTF 2017

Observing The Frontier will leave you with plenty of new ideas to think about! - Debra D.
My biggest takeaway is now knowing the broad spectrum of humanity that comprises this community, it would appear that the focus on the expansion of knowledge is paramount; I saw all walks of life come together in that pursuit. Truly eye opening! Chad E. Observing The Frontier has effectively shifted my worldview. I was impressed by the comprehensive and interrelated spectrum of science presented. The body of work presented at OTF 2017 amazes and deeply resonates with me. - Jenny L. |
OTF is one of the most eye-opening scientific experiences I have ever had. To hear presentations by such passionate researchers created an amazing forum for connecting many dots for many people. I have never seen such an engaged audience. I will be back, count on it. - Austin P.
Enlightening. Stimulating. Friendly atmosphere. - Phil S. I am impressed with the importance of citizen science- and having a forum for scientists to present new ideas! -Ananda S. I am so inspired by this conference. The science experiments were fascinating! - Roxanne S. |

Comments from previous conferences:
Presenters and presentations in Pittsburgh were awesome. That energy is rippling towards all 0bservers in the alert community, and more. - T. Nehrbauer
Fantastic Conference. Learned so much. Thank you for putting this together. All the speakers were fantastic. This was a great event for learning and meeting with like-minded people. - T. Tidwell
Meeting the FOTW guys was a blast! The speakers were awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and approachable the speakers were. Talking with other 0bservers was the most fun of all. I had planned to attend only the Pittsburgh conference, but I had such a great time I am going to Phoenix. - D. Hindle
Getting a chance to interact with the presenters was a highlight…great sense of community. Feelings of inspiration. - J. Duggan
The presenters gave meaningful presentations on observations and data on the magnetic-electric universe. It was eye-opening and more people should know about this data, regardless of opinion. - K. Gamleah
