SUMMARY:Sci-Cafe: Apalachicola Geological History
DESCRIPTION:The Apalachicola River is Florida’s largest river by volume. It is the only river in the state with headwaters that extend into the southern Appalachian Mountains. Join us as State Geologist and Director of the Florida Geological Survey Harley “Guy” Means tells us about the Apalachicola River’s long geologic history that began during the Miocene Epoch (23 – 5.3 mya).  Some of the river’s geologic history is revealed in the spectacular bluffs that have been exposed by the erosive power of the flowing water. Florida’s tallest natural exposure\, Alum Bluff\, is one of many places along the Apalachicola River where multiple geologic units are exposed.  We will discuss the geologic history of the river and focus on some of the classic exposures that occur between Chattahoochee and Apalachicola.   \nto register click here:\nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3575780471259616605

SUMMARY:Sci-Cafe: What Everyone Should Know About Fungi
DESCRIPTION:Mushrooms are perhaps the most well-known members of fungi\, but they are just the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to world of microbial activity beyond our sight in the soil below.  What are fungi and what distinguishes them from the plants and animals we readily recognize? What exactly is a mushroom?  What role does it play in the life history of its species? Dr. Tom Dolan will present a bit of background on the Kingdom Fungi before focusing on mushrooms\, including their structure\, function\, and diversity of forms. He will also cover mushroom identification techniques while presenting photos of common Florida mushrooms.\nHe is now retired Emeritus Professor of Biological Sciences from Butler University of 32 years.\nRegister here https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6033036125366142816

SUMMARY:Beth Appleton's Art+Science: A Creative Exchange Exhibit Reception
DESCRIPTION:~ What Inspires Us? The Hidden Wonders of Apalachicola Bay ~ \nApalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve will host “Art+Science: A Creative Exchange” with artist Beth Appleton at the Reserve’s Nature Center located at 108 Island Drive in Eastpoint. The exhibition represents an explorative and exciting collaboration that connects science and art\, the microscopic world and the arts in our dynamic estuary. The exhibit will run from Friday\, March 10\, 2023\, through Saturday\, June 10\, 2023. \nInspired by Florida’s beautiful coastal environment\, local artist Beth Appleton began a new series of works in 2012 when she viewed a water sample from Apalachicola Bay under a high-powered microscope which allowed her to view the estuary’s tiniest inhabitants — diatoms and a vast diversity of micro-life in Apalachicola Bay; a sight that still inspires her latest works. Her works are expressed as microphotography\, cut paper works\, videos and digital assemblages. Appleton explains\, “I continue to be amazed by the mystery and beauty found in a drop of water.” \nThe public is invited to an opening reception on Friday\, March 10\, 2023\, 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. The exhibition can be viewed\, free of charge\, at the Reserve’s the Nature Center Tuesdays-Saturdays\, 9:00am-4:00pm\, March 10 through June 10\, 2023.
