Science on Tap

Join us at Free State Brewing Company for Science on Tap with Dr. Trevor Rivers, Associate Teaching Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas.

In this talk, "Fireflies of the Sea: Complex Bioluminescence in the Caribbean", Dr. Rivers will discuss how bioluminescence is used in the ocean, primarily focusing on ostracods. These small crustaceans are found in nearly all aquatic systems, but a special group in the Caribbean has evolved the ability to use bioluminescence in courtship patterns that are, in most cases, more complex than even those of fireflies

This free presentation/Q&A is open to the public and will be held in the beer hall area at Free State Brewing Company. Please note that seating is limited, so we encourage you to arrive early!
