Rise and shine, Flathead Watershed, and mark those calendars: We have an exciting announcement for the upcoming Science on Tap coming your way Thursday, April 4 in the Cellar at the FLBC Pubhouse:
April’s featured Science on Tap speaker is our very own FLBS assistant research professor Rachel Malison, who will discuss “Monitoring Montana Waters: A program that supports volunteer water quality monitoring to protect our waters.”
The Cellar opens at 6pm and the presentation starts at 6:30pm. Tickets are $5 a person, and we recommend purchasing them in advance. Please note: No food will be available downstairs in the Cellar, please come early and eat upstairs prior to the presentation.
Rachel Malison is currently an Assistant Research Professor at FLBS, where she—among many other achievements—developed and runs FLBS’s Monitoring Montana Waters program, which supports water quality monitoring efforts in Montana by providing scientific, technical and financial support to citizen-science watershed groups.
Malison was also recently awarded a $6.6M EPA grant to greatly expand our efforts to protect Montana’s waters by developing a Pesticide Stewardship Partnership Program for the Columbia River Basin portion of western Montana. In addition to water quality, Malison’s research interests focus on freshwater systems and span from investigating the genetics and physiology of macroinvertebrates to studying population and community ecology of large river floodplains.
This is a fun, family-friendly event in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your curiosity and enjoy yourself! Brought to you by the Flathead Lakers, FLBS, and the FLBC Pubhouse.
