Things That Go Rot in the Night: Use and Role of Preservatives

Dr. Phil Geis, a veteran industrial microbiologist, will discuss temporal, physical, and chemical means of preservation in consumer, institutional and industrial applications — their purpose, effectiveness, and relative risk

Ants

We are being invaded! Learn about the natural history of ants, how they assemble communities, and ant invasions in natural and human-altered landscapes. Better understand the ecology of one of the most abundant groups of organisms on Earth, insects. Our discussion leader will be Dr. Joshua King, an assistant professor and insect ecology researcher in the Biology department at the University of Central Florida.

Orlando Public Library, first floor

101 E Central Blvd

Parking is free on the street starting at 6PM, and there's a parking garage across from the library on Central.  Lymmo busses are free and can bring you from farther away and stop at the Library.

About Eden Bar

We are not sure we'll continue cafes at Eden Bar. This is an experiment, and Chad is still looking for venues. Feel free to suggest some.  caf...@chad.org
