This month’s Science on Tap is extra wild! 🦭 We’re thrilled to welcome Claire Nasr, M.S., Executive Director of the Trinidad Coastal Land Trust, for a lively talk all about marine mammals.
With more than 15 years of hands-on experience working with pinnipeds (that’s seals and sea lions!), Claire will spotlight the species that call Humboldt County home. Expect field stories, fun facts, and answers to those classic curiosities you’ve always wondered about. Claire’s scientific expertise—and her deep love for the North Coast’s wild places—make her the perfect guide for this ocean adventure. 🌊

✨ Doors open at 6 PM! Arrive early to snag a seat and sip a local brew from Paskenta Mad River Brewery while you settle in.

💙 All donations support Science on Tap and in-stream restoration projects by the Eel River Watershed Improvement Group—thank you for helping keep these events going strong!

☀️ The weather’s looking nice, so dress comfortably—sunhat and shades encouraged. And if you can, carpool with friends (parking is limited).

Science on Tap fosters collaboration among local advocates for natural resources. Let's create a platform for sharing ideas and inspire resilience in environmental restoration for generations to come. Join us in building an inclusive space that welcomes everyone into the environmental community, making knowledge accessible and enjoyable for all in a laid-back and fun setting. See you there!

Friday, September 26 at 6 p.m. Northtown Books welcomes Bridget A. Lyons to present her new book Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species.

Entwined is a collection of fourteen original essays by Bridget Lyons, a traveler, explorer, and former wilderness guide who has encountered countless animals and plants in their native environments.

Set in locations ranging from Alaska and California to Mexico and Honduras, Lyons’s stories are braided with careful observation, scientific research, and wonder to foster the connection between us and our nonhuman neighbors.

As readers travel through a diversity of ecosystems, they'll navigate icebergs in Alaska while researching the nesting strategies of common eiders, witness the apparent demise of a humpback whale on the Baja Peninsula while instructing a wilderness course, observe ibex while trail running the Alps, and contemplate the mystery of the octopus from a Cretan museum. Along the way, they'll be awed by the beauty, creativity, and intelligence of the natural world—and awakened to the reality of its shrinking biodiversity.
