SUMMARY:The Wonders of Plant-Microbe Interactions
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlants\, like humans\, interact with a diversity of microscopic organisms\, and scientists are just becoming aware of the role that microbiomes play in influencing host health. Current evidence suggests that despite their small size\, microbes can have big impacts on natural ecosystems – from influencing whether plants are edible to determining how diverse a prairie is. Join Professor Kerri Crawford\, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Houston\, as she discusses some of the key microbial partners that plants interact with\, what impact they have in structuring ecological communities\, and how plant-microbe interactions may help solve some of our most pressing problems.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Discovering Our Texas Native Lady Beetles
DESCRIPTION:Lady beetles\, or ladybugs\, have long been recognized as one of the best biological controls for many insect pests in both home gardens and agri-business. The diversity in this family of insects has been well-characterized yet they have largely been represented by only a few select species which have been introduced in the U.S. via different methods. So\, who are our native lady beetles? What are their dietary preferences and habitat needs? This presentation is an introduction to some of the native lady beetles in the greater Houston area and an overview of their biology and habitat needs. Additionally\, the presentation will explore threats to lady beetle populations\, how iNaturalist can be used as a tool to discover who our native lady beetles\, and some of the misconceptions about these fascinating insects. Join this conversation with Rebecca Lloyd\, Texas Master Naturalist\, as we wonder at Texas Lady beetles!  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n

SUMMARY:The Wonders of Coastal Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, wetlands were considered useless land\, and we filled them in to make farmland and housing. Today\, we realize that wetlands provide numerous valuable services to humanity\, and we seek to protect and restore them. Coastal wetlands are threatened by a number of factors\, but can be remarkably resilient to moderate rates of sea level rise. This talk will review some of the benefits we derive from coastal wetlands\, discuss the threats facing them\, and explain why we have reason to expect that wetlands will survive despite ongoing global change. Join this conversation with Professor Steven Pennings of the University of Houston as we wonder at coastal wetlands! Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:Close the Camps! Free Them All! April 19 Demonstration at SWK!
DESCRIPTION:Never Again Action-Houston will hold a second COVID-safe\, car-only demonstration to demand the closure of the Southwest Key detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue on Sunday\, April 19\, at 1:30 pm.

It is part of a state-wide day of action against ICE and private detention centers. Never Again Action groups will also hold car-only protests in San Antonio\, Austin\, Dallas-Ft. Worth\, and Corpus Christi. We can’t let COVID-19 become a death sentence for migrants in detention centers. Together\, we will demand: Close the Camps! Free Them All!

SUMMARY:The Wonders of the Deep Sea
DESCRIPTION:Approximately two thirds of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans with an average depth of about 2.65 miles. Below 0.62 miles\, the water is completely dark\, temperatures plummet to 39 °F\, and the pressure is about 40 times the pressure of earth’s atmosphere. Nonetheless\, many creatures can live in this extreme place having no light. Deep sea explorations have found shrimp\, fish\, coral\, tube worms\, mussels\, starfish\, and many other creatures even below 2 miles. About 95% of the ocean remains unexplored\, and marine scientists continuously find new species in this unusual place. In addition to creatures\, huge quantities of methane gas hydrates and billions of tons of manganese nodules are found in deep ocean floors (2-4 miles deep). Manganese nodules grow only 10-100 millimeters per million years. Gas hydrates may contain roughly twice the carbon contained in all reserves of coal\, oil\, and conventional natural gas combined. Join Professor Hyun-Min Hwang of Texas Southern University to be awestruck by these\, and other\, wonders of the deep sea. To join the conversation\, please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
