What All The Cool Kids Will Be Doing On September 27th
My friend Dr. Erika is giving a public lecture as part of the Café Scientifique series of public lectures:
Our next café will happen on Tuesday September 27 at the Railway Club (579 Dunsmuir Street) at 7:30pm. Our speaker that evening will be Erika Eliason, an expert on Pacific salmon migration who has been featured on the UBC Public Affairs webpage. Her talk that evening will be:
Pacific Salmon and Climate Change
Every year, millions of Pacific salmon return from the ocean to the Fraser River to perform their upriver, adult spawning migration. Pacific salmon typically return to spawn in the same stream where they were born. This has resulted in many geographically and genetically distinct populations. In recent years, warm river temperatures have been associated with high mortality during the upriver spawning migration, raising clear conservation concerns. My research is focused on understanding why salmon die when the water gets too warm and how different populations vary in their susceptibility to warm temperatures.
We hope to see you there!

It’s on the same night as my bro-in-law’s gig on Granville Island… I’ll check with him to see what time they’ll be starting, so maybe I can do both!
That would be awesome! I would totally join you to see your bro-in-law’s gig if they are starting late enough!
