Science on Tap at the Kiggins: Amazing Avian Adaptations

The next Science on Tap at the Kiggins Theatre, 7 p.m. July 12, is all about birds under stress. Tickets are $15 to $45, available at kigginstheatre.com. Get complete details at scienceontaporwa.org/events/kiggins_jul_12_birds/. Recorded live shows are available to Patreon members after the event.

Jamie Cornelius studies behavioral and physiological strategies that birds use to cope with unpredictable change. In other words, why do some birds survive better than others when the going gets tough? She’ll describe field and lab experiments that help us understand their needs and what strategies might help them to cope with global change. While many talks centered on climate change can fill you with doom and gloom, this one just might give you reason to hope that mother nature has some tricks up her sleeve.
