Join us next Tuesday for Coyotes, Coffee, and Carnivores, oh my! This hybrid event (in-person and virtual streaming options provided, co-hosted with Ohio State’s Center for Human-Animal Interactions Research and Education) marks the first public-facing program for the new Columbus Zoo and Aquarium president and CEO Tom Schmid at Ohio State. Consider joining in-person, alongside dozens of regional environmental professionals and students, to help us welcome Tom to our community.
José Vicente López Bao (Universidad de Oviedo-Campus de Mieres, Spain) will virtually join our in-person audience to share how he utilizes large, mammalian carnivores (such as the Iberian wolf, cougar, and red fox) as study models for ecological conservation in our crowded and modern world. This is the first of two programs involving Dr. Bao, next week, as he will be diving further into his research methodology and deeper conservation implications of his work during the Thursday, Feb. 17 SENR Seminar Series. Jeremy Bruskotter and others here have worked with Dr. Bao – and have rated his previous talks very highly!
A great update to this program last week was the addition of our very own, Stan Gehrt! If you’re like us, you’ve enjoyed hearing about Stan’s coyote research in assorted media releases, videos, podcasts, and other channels over the years, so we’re especially excited to hear from him directly in our home community, which will include observations of a coyote pack residing on Waterman Farm!
*yes, the Breakfast noun has an asterisk. As you’ve seen, serving food on campus to non-Ohio State folks is an evolving target. While we are still exploring avenues for serving food; one thing will remain true for February – that is our freshly brewed coffee (and other assorted breakfast beverages) and all other components of this program are FREE! No Workday required!
Join us February 15 to better understand the coexistence adaptations of large carnivores and humans, and to discuss creative and collaborative scientific research and innovative strategies to ecological, conservation and management issues.
