Stamford Science Cafe: The Known and Unknown Wildlife in Our Backyards

At the inaugural Stamford Science Café, Stamford resident and biology professor Jason Munshi-South will speak about wildlife found in our city.

Many species have formed compelling ecological relationships with humans in our urban environments, but these animals may only be occasionally glimpsed or go unnoticed altogether. What animals share Stamford with us, and how can we face the inevitable challenges of coexistence? How do they use our urban environment? What species are likely to arrive in Stamford in the near future? How might these species even be adapting to live among us? These questions and others will be discussed.

Q&A to follow

Science cafés are lively events held in casual settings, are open to everyone, and feature an engaging conversation with a scientist about a particular topic. Science Cafés have spread around the world to encourage conversation, debate, interaction and dialogue between scientists and the public. Science cafés welcome people who may or may not typically get involved with scientific discussions.
