SUMMARY:SciPub: Addressing Climate Change with Beavers
DESCRIPTION:What is beaver-based restoration and how can it help us?\n\n\n\n\nA Science Pub lecture with Meg Waller\, Environmental Scientist\, and Restoration Program Manager with Bark. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture\n\n\n\n\nClimate change is impacting our environments more than ever. Our region is predicted to get less precipitation\, both in the form of rain and snow\, and in turn experience more frequent and intense wildfires over an extended fire season. This impacts humans\, plants\, animals and the land alike. \n\n\n\n\nConsidering these predictions\, a major focus of restoration groups across the region is how to store more water. One of the most valuable partners in this water-focused restoration is beavers! By damming small streams\, they create ponds and wetlands that store water and offer myriad other ecosystem benefits. Beavers benefit nearly all aspects of our ecosystems\, storing and filtering water\, sequestering carbon\, increasing nutrients and boosting biodiversity. \n\n\n\n\nAfter centuries of being hunted for their pelts and castoreum\, beavers are having a moment or\, more accurately\, a movement. People from Oregon to Georgia to Scotland are teaming up to spread the word about the incredible work these semi-aquatic rodents can do and how beneficial they are to so many ecosystems. Beaver-based restoration is an emerging\, holistic restoration method perfectly suited to a dynamic planet. \n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nScience Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region\, recommended for ages 10 and over. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n$8 suggested donation | Advance tickets recommended \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZoom Option\nIf you are unable to join us in person\, you can watch on Zoom. You must register in advance. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nFor tickets & more info: https://omsi.edu/events/scipub-addressing-climate-change-with-beavers/

SUMMARY:An evening of physics and philosophy with award-winning cosmologist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
DESCRIPTION:A special Science Pub lecture in concert with the release of Dr. Prescod-Weinstein’s newest book\, The Edge of Space-Time: Particles\, Poetry\, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Lecture\n\n\n\n\nDrawing on poetry and popular culture—from Langston Hughes\, Queen Latifah\, and Lewis Carroll\, to Big K.R.I.T.\, Sun Ra\, and Star Trek—Dr. Prescod-Weinstein will take some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and render them accessible for any who come to learn about the history and fundamental nature of our universe. \nHere we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive\, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy\, explore the inner workings of black holes\, and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity\, following our speaker to the far reaches of the cosmic event horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. \n\n\n\n\nAlong the way\,  informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought\, Prescod-Weinstein will challenge listeners to imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity’s undeniable connection with the stars\, viewing physics as an essential way for everyone to look at the universe. \n\n\n\n\nScience Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region\, recommended for ages 10 and over \n\nFor tickets and more info: https://omsi.edu/events/science-pub-the-edge-of-space-time/

SUMMARY:Science on Tap - The Counting of Crows
DESCRIPTION:There is no animal we’re more aware of having as neighbors as the American Crow. Loud\, ubiquitous\, and immediately recognizable\, most Portlanders will see crows every day. And yet\, there are few animals as mysterious and captivating. \n\nIf I feed crows\, will they bring me shiny presents?\nWhy are crows so intelligent\, and what do they do with those big brains?\nWhy\, if we look outside at dawn and dusk\, do we see vast numbers of them all flying in the same direction?\nWhy do they tear out the grass in our lawns?\nWhy do they bring bits of food and wash it in our bird baths?\nWhy do they dive bomb some people?\nDo they really remember human faces? And hold funerals for their fallen?\n\nIn this wide-ranging exploration of the exceedingly common\, and unique\, American Crow\, we’ll learn what makes them so fascinating and mysterious\, and try to answer some of these questions along the way.\nBrodie Cass Talbott works at Bird Alliance of Oregon\, where he has been educating both adults and kids about birds since 2018. He leads birdwatching tours near and far\, teaches classes on bird ecology and identification\, and works to engage the growing birdwatching community in the conservation work that Bird Alliance of Oregon has been doing since 1902.\n——–\nCOST:\n$25 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45 SUPPORTER (Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program) \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:Dementia Research: A Long and Winding Road
DESCRIPTION:(Back by popular demand!) (Now with ASL interpreters!)\nForty-seven million people worldwide are affected by dementias\, causing memory loss\, difficulties with planning\, difficulties with language\, personality changes\, mood changes\, and agitation. These diseases\, including Alzheimer’s Disease\, have devastating impacts on affected individuals\, their families\, and their friends. \n\nIf everyone lived long enough\, would we all develop some form of dementia?\nWhat causes dementia\, and how does it progress?\nWhy did earlier clinical trials to treat dementia fail?\nDo current treatments help?\nWhat do new findings suggest about how to treat dementia?\n\nJoin us to explore these and other questions\, as well as new insights into how dementias begin and possible ways to slow or even stop them. \nThis show is dedicated to Steve Goodwin\, a pianist and composer with Alzheimer’s. Singer/songwriter Naomi LaViolette returns to Science on Tap at this very show to perform some of his works! More about their collaboration at Saving His Music. \nDr. Larry S. Sherman is a Professor of Neuroscience at OHSU. He is also the President of the Oregon and SW Washington Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. He has over 120 publications related to brain development and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. (You may remember him from our shows Music & the Brain and Neuroscience of Racism!)\nThis show will have ASL interpretation.\n——– \nCOST:\n$15.00 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25.00 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35.00 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45.00 SUPPORTER: Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:The Silken Thread: Five Insects & Their Impacts on Human History
DESCRIPTION:A moth\, a flea\, a mosquito…\nInsects are seldom mentioned in history texts\, yet they significantly shaped human history. For example: \n\nSilkworms (moths) have been farmed to produce silk for millennia\, and the Silk Road created a history of empires and cultural exchanges of ideas\, philosophies\, and religions.\nFleas and lice carried bacteria that caused three major plague pandemics. Bacteria carried by insects left their ancient clues as DNA embedded in victims’ teeth.\nLice caused outbreaks of typhus\, especially in crowded conditions such as prisons and concentration camps. Typhus aggravated the effects of the Irish potato famine\, and Irish refugees took typhus to North America.\nMosquito-borne yellow fever was transported to the Americas via the trans-Atlantic slave trade\, causing panic in the US and creating hazards in constructing the Panama Canal.\n\nDr. Rob Wiedenmann will explore the impact and common threads connecting these insects. This talk is based on his book\, coauthored by J. Ray Fisher: The Silken Thread: Five Insects and Their Impacts on Human History. \nDr. Rob Wiedenmann is Professor Emeritus of Entomology at the University of Arkansas. He received a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\, and a Ph.D. in Entomology\, both from Purdue University. He also worked at the Illinois Natural History Survey\, where he focused on biological control of insects and weeds. He is a past-president of the Entomological Society of America. \n——–\nCOST:\n$15.00 Discount (senior\, student\, it’s your b-day\, just can’t afford the GA price)\n$25.00 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35.00 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$61.20 BOOK/TICKET combo (15% OFF both!) \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:Science on Tap - When the Window Breaks: How Vision is Rebuilt
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever looked through a foggy window and wondered what if that were your eyesight? What happens when the window of your eye becomes cloudy? \nThe cornea—the clear front surface of the eye—plays a critical role in focusing light and allowing us to see the world sharply. But infections\, injuries\, genetic conditions\, and aging can damage this delicate tissue\, leading to blurred vision\, pain\, and sometimes even blindness. The remarkable news is that many of these conditions are treatable—and in some cases\, surgeons can replace the damaged “window” of the eye to restore sight. \nWhether you have a corneal disease\, know someone with vision problems\, or are simply curious about how modern medicine can bring sight back\, join us to learn about: \n\nHow the cornea works\nWhat cause it to become cloudy or scarred\nHow treatments work\nHow donated tissue can restore sight\n\nGain a deeper understanding of how damage to this tiny\, transparent tissue is among the top causes of global blindness and how advances in eye care are helping people see the world clearly again. \nAfshan Nanji\, MD\, MPH is an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at the Casey Eye Institute at OHSU. She cares for patients with diseases of the cornea including infections\, keratoconus\, dystrophies\, ocular surface cancers\, and other conditions. In addition to her clinical work\, she teaches future eye surgeons and conducts research to improve diagnosis and treatments for corneal disease.\n——–\nCOST:\n$15 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45 SUPPORTER (Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program) \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:Poking the Squid: What We Can Learn from Animal Sex
DESCRIPTION:A vast and delightfully diverse journey through the sex lives of animals. \nFor too long\, science has ignored and obscured the multiplicity of animal sexual behavior. With vivid\, often funny\, and always beautiful watercolor illustrations in a work of graphic nonfiction\, artist Perrin Roosevelt Ireland examines how animals express and have sex. \nGo on a wild biodiversity ride from queerness\, infidelity\, and divorce to consent\, sexual cannibalism\, and sex change. She interviews researchers at the edge of this new science and brings readers along as she learns the latest discoveries. \nIn vivid comics of seahorse dads\, polygamous albatross\, and gender-fluid barnacles\, Poking the Squid illustrates for us a vibrant and erotic earth that we are just beginning to grasp. By illuminating and celebrating animal diversity\, she asks us to embrace our own. \nPerrin Roosevelt Ireland is an artist and environmentalist. Her work has appeared at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and the Mystic Seaport Museum and in Discover\, Nature\, Scientific American\, and the Rumpus. She lives in Brooklyn\, New York.\n——– \nCOST:\n$15.00 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25.00 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35.00 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$46.75 Book and ticket combo – 15% off both \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:How Did the Frog Cross the Road? Portland’s Frog Tunnel
DESCRIPTION:Every winter\, the amphibians of northwest Portland enter a real-life game of Frogger. Most drivers on U.S. Route 30 never notice the small\, slimy critters leaping across the asphalt on rainy nights. But for northern red-legged frogs\, the stakes are high—reach the water to lay their eggs\, or die trying. \nIn response to their plight\, biologists are using innovative solutions to help frogs and other vulnerable wildlife cross roads. With the help of buckets and bulldozers\, over a decade of conservation efforts have inspired a growing community of amphibian enthusiasts in Portland. In the summer of 2024\, they broke ground on their biggest venture yet: a tunnel for frogs beneath Route 30. \nLess than two years later\, the project is shaping up to be an early success story. Along the way\, scientists are using specialized technology to document northern red-legged frog behavior and develop strategies to protect this common\, yet cryptic species. \nJoin us to learn about the challenges our amphibian neighbors face and how we can help overcome them\, while gaining a glimpse into the fascinating lives of frogs. \nAlyson Yates is a graduate student in the School of Earth\, Environment and Society at PSU and a freelance photojournalist. Her work has been featured by National Wildlife Magazine\, Bats Magazine\, Merlin Tuttle’s Bat Conservation\, OSU\, and other media outlets.\n——–\nCOST:\n$15 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45 SUPPORTER (Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program) \nTICKETS: Get tickets!

SUMMARY:Science on Tap - How to Think Like a Volcano
DESCRIPTION:When and how will a volcano erupt in the future? Say…Mount Baker (a very-high-threat volcano in Washington State)? \nVolcanic eruptions are fueled by the magmas stored beneath the surface\, so if we want to better prepare\, we have to dig deep (literally). In this talk\, we will explore “how to think like a volcano” by looking closely at how ‘magma factories’ operate. \nWhen a magma cools and solidifies\, it can form crystals that can sometimes preserve zones like the rings of a tree. Zoning patterns can therefore record the changing magmatic environment\, including temperature changes\, physical interactions between magmas\, and time. \nUsing crystal cargo in erupted material\, we will address: \n\nWhat causes magmas to escape the crust and erupt on the surface?\nHow long does it take for magma to exit the crust?\nCan we improve our “stopwatches” between the moment volcanic unrest is detected\, and the moment we need to respond to an impending eruption?\n\nWe’ll take a close look at the Cascade volcanoes in our very own backyard\, zooming in on the active Mount Baker in WA state. \nDr. Hannah Shamloo works at Central Washington University as an Assistant Professor where she has taught igneous petrology\, geochemistry\, volcanology\, and science communication for the past 5 years.

SUMMARY:Science on Tap: How to Revive Our Memories & Restore the Planet
DESCRIPTION:As the climate emergency worsens and biodiversity shrinks\, we humans get used to it—we adapt\, we normalize\, we forget. Scientists call this “shifting baseline syndrome” and warn that it’s why we are increasingly sleepwalking toward disaster. \nIn this positive and inspiring manifesto\, the environmental activist and longtime editor-in-chief of Sierra magazine Jason Dove Mark offers an antidote\, focusing on four simple but powerful rules that everyone can use to resist environmental amnesia: \nGo outside. Bear witness. Make a record. Pass it on. \nMark makes the case for easy\, everyday practices that can help us “remember the Earth” and support environmental conservation\, restoration\, and rewilding. And he shares moving examples of citizen scientists\, birdwatchers\, mountain climbers\, and fishermen across the country who are putting them into practice. The Earth Said Remember Me: *How to Revive Our Memories and Restore the Planet *is a hopeful\, achievable prescription for protecting the planet\, one citizen at a time. \nJason Dove Mark has served as editor-in-chief of Sierra and editor of Earth Island Journal. His writing has appeared in the New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, San Francisco Chronicle\, and the Atlantic. He lives in the PNW.\n——–\nCOST:\n$15 DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n$25 GENERAL ADMISSION\n$35 VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n$45 SUPPORTER (Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program) \nTICKETS: Get tickets!
