Hi everyone,
If you're in the North Conway, New Hampshire area, please join us for 
our spring Science Pub Night series, featuring a crew of scientists from 
Hubbard Brook. We're kicking off the series this evening.

Also, if you're on Facebook or Twitter, please follow us and help expand 
our public engagement network:

  *Science Pub Night*


    *Dates: Thursday, March 31, April 14, and April 28*


    *6:30–8:30 pm*


    *Seadog Brewery, North Conway*

/*Hosted by:*/University of New Hampshire and the Hubbard Brook Research 
Foundation

/*Partners:*/Tin Mountain Conservation Center, Upper Saco Valley Land 
Trust, Mount Washington Observatory

/*Supported by*/*:*Northeastern States Research Cooperative and the New 
Hampshire EPSCoR Program



        Grab a pint and join in a friendly discussion with ecologists
        and climate scientists who work in the Bartlett Experimental
        Forest and other local research sites. These informal events are
        a unique opportunity to learn about some of the current science
        happening here in the White Mountains — from the comfort of a
        bar stool! Science Pub Nights are free and open to all.


        *1. Thursday, March 31: Northeastern Forests and the Earth’s
        Climate System**
        *
        Changes in climate have important implications for the world’s
        forests, but few people realize that forests themselves are part
        of our climate system. This is as true for forests here in New
        Hampshire as it is in the Amazon. Drawing from work at the
        nearby Bartlett and Hubbard Brook Experimental Forests, this
        session’s speakers will lead a discussion about how forests are
        changing, why they’re so important to climate, and their latest
        research to track the flow of carbon through the forest ecosystem.


        *Panelists:*


        §Scott Ollinger, University of New Hampshire


        §Andrew Richardson, Harvard University


        §Eric Kelsey, Mount Washington Observatory and Plymouth State
        University


        *Moderator:*Sarah Garlick, Hubbard Brook Research Foundation**


        *2. Thursday, April 14: Forest Health and Invasive Pests*


        Ever wonder if you should kill that bug or put it carefully back
        on the tree branch it jumped from? Have you wondered what trees
        you should plant and which may not survive anyway? Join Forest
        Service scientist Rich Hallett to find out about some of the
        biggest threats to our urban and rural forests, how to detect
        signs of infestation and health problems early, and what you
        (and others such as the Forest Service and NASA) can do to help.


        *Speaker: *Rich Hallett, USDA Forest Service Northern Research
        Station


        *Moderator:*Dave Hollinger, USDA Forest Service Northern
        Research Station and Scott Ollinger, University of New Hampshire


        *3. Thursday, April 28: Wildlife in a Changing World*


        When it rains, we pull out our umbrellas and rain jackets and
        when it snows, we pull out our winter boots and heavy coats — we
        can adjust to localized changes in climate. But what about the
        animals that share the forests and local waterways with us? How
        will they cope? Join us for an evening of conversation about our
        local fauna’s ability to handle changes in our environment.


        *Speaker:*Lynn Christenson, Vassar College


        *Moderator:*Andrew Richardson, Harvard University and Scott
        Ollinger, University of New Hampshire
