Nerd Nite is back for the fall season, but with a twist! We are collaborating with the Natural Resources Foundation’s Wayfarers Group to do a conservation themed night! The same shenanigans you love at Nerd Nite, but we’re sharing the love.
Lisie Kitchel will be presenting “The Weird and Wonderful World of our Native Mussels”. Our native mussels have a surprisingly complex life history for animals that pretend they are rocks on the riverbed. We will discuss why a mussel would want to have a fish on its posterior and other such oddities!
Ben Lam brings us “The Whooping Crane Story: The power of hard work, costumes, and dance!” Whooping Cranes are one of North America’s most endangered bird species with only about 830 remaining. We’ll take a look at the history of this species and some of the techniques used in bringing Whooping Cranes back from the brink of extinction.
Micah Kloppenberg will share “Dung Beetles: The Coffee Snobs of the Coprophagous World?” While pollinators get the press for filling our grocery aisles, dung beetles help break it down on (from?) the other end. We’ll find out what drives a dung beetle’s dietary attraction!
This will be a great night for nature lovers, animal lovers, beer drinkers, and everyone who wants to get nerdy!
