Cafe Scientifique on Urban Otters

Begins: Feb 18th, 2020 at 7:00 pm
Ends: Feb 18th, 2020 at 9:00 pm

Venue: Bryant-Lake Bowl & Theater
Location: 810 W Lake St  | Minneapolis, Minnesota

Cafe Scientifique combines cutting-edge science and conversation in a fun, casual cabaret setting, often over dinner. Throughout Café Scientifique's eight-year residency at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, theatergoers have regularly packed the room to hear talks on topics ranging from dinosaurs to exoplanets to the inner workings of the human brain. Every month, Café Scientifique offers an opportunity for anyone to engage with incredible scientists and researchers in an informal, accessible way.

Dawn Tanner, PhD in Conservation Biology, will be speaking on Feb. 18 about the new project on urban otters. This project evolved as a next step from remote-camera monitoring in the watershed. Otters are indicators of habitat health and water quality. Goals of this project include investigating population health and identifying critical wetland habitat areas to support wildlife. This project could not be done without the involvement of our partners, the MN Zoo and University of Minnesota.

Cafe Scientifique is a ticketed show. Contact the Bryant-Lake Bowl & Theater for tickets. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
