SIERRA STREAMS
Watershed Monitoring, Research, & Restoration
Sci Pubs are regular science pop ups hosted by SSI where folks get to learn about different science topics while enjoying a nice cold beverage. Regional scientists give a 45 minute lecture about their area of expertise, typically a regional science topic. The audience gets an opportunity to ask their related burning science questions and get an in depth look into a wide variety of subjects. Previous Sci Pub topics include: Wolves in California, Sierra Nevada Rock Art, Community Advocacy of the Bear River, and Fire Ecology (to name a few!).
Join us Tuesday, September 29th from 6pm-7pm to dip a toe into the world of underwater archaeology. Hear about Sam Bell’s work contributing to the development of an underwater heritage trail in Saipan. She will talk about researching aircraft wrecks underwater and how the public treats and sees these wrecks differently than shipwrecks. Bring your burning maritime archaeology questions and hear all about what it takes to do science while scuba diving
SSI is introducing a new series called Science & Sip which is a little less formal than Sci Pub, these events focus on casual science conversations with more audience participation. We bring a science specialist and an SSI employee who asks questions and engages the audience through interactive science discussion. These conversations do not require any special equipment and focus on audience driven participation.
