Science On Tap: 7:30-8:30 PM Wednesday, July 24 at Free State Brewing Company

Join us at Free State Brewing Company for the next Science on Tap event featuring Dr. Jorge Soberón, University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and a senior scientist in biodiversity modeling at the KU Biodiversity Institute and Natural History Museum. The presentation, "On Redcoats, Bugs, and the Nopal. A Tale of Science and Commerce," will combine history and science to explain how a tiny cactus-dwelling insect, native to subtropical South America, became a global commodity in the 16th century.

 
This free presentation/Q&A is open to the public and will be held in the beer hall area at Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., Lawrence, KS, from 7:30-8:30 PM Wednesday, July 24. Please note that seating is limited, so we encourage you to come early.
