Speaker:  Joseph Rohrer, Emeritus Professor of Plant Biology at University of Wisconsin—Eau Claire.
Summary:  Like amphibians, mosses are tied to water in ways that conifers and flowering plants are not. Understanding their relationship to water and light is essential as we talk about various moss habitats (forests, fens, backyards) and substrates (forest floor, tree bark, rock).  We will look closely at some Madeline Island species and discover that although small, they are not all the same.

Summary:  The science of behavior has come a long way since Pavlov’s experiments with salivating dogs. We’ll discover why a bear returns to the same backyard night after night, how raptors learn to stay calm in front of school groups, and the best ways to teach your pets. We’ll even try training each other to see the science in action.
