Description:
Science on Tap - New River Valley presents the program "Bird in the Place You Live!" on Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at Rising Silo Farm Brewery.

This month, we are excited to welcome Marissa Langager and Amber Wendler to Science on Tap for a bird walk and many other interactive bird activities! Birds are an extremely diverse group of animals with about 10,000 species spanning all seven continents. They play an important role in our ecosystems and can tell us a lot about what’s going on in the environment. Amber and Marissa will teach us about these wonderful animals, followed by an optional leisurely walk where we will identify local birds and contribute to community science.

Amber is a Ph.D. student in the Biological Sciences department at Virginia Tech. Her research investigates differences in bird behavior between rainforest and dry forest environments in Puerto Rico. Marissa is a Ph.D. candidate in the Biological Sciences department at Virginia Tech. She studies disease ecology in birds, focusing on how challenges in a bird’s early life may impact the way they experience the world later in life.

Admission is free.

Science on Tap - New River Valley is a monthly event with science-inspired speakers, performers, and discussions. We support bringing science to our community and our community’s support to local research.

We kick off the event with games, comedy, or other fun things. Then, an invited guest researcher demos their research. And then we'll discuss, ask questions, learn together and mingle.
