$Science Uncorked PNW: How Salish Sea Stars are Faring in our Ocean\u2019s Menagerie$

Join us for Science Uncorked with Dr. Drew Harvell!
How Salish Sea Stars are Faring in our Ocean’s Menagerie
Drew Harvell’s team has worked for over a decade on the mysterious disease killing seastars and will update on where we go now that the team has identified the killer in our waters. She will also talk about local examples from her new book, such as jellyfish that glow in the dark, sea stars with super strength and nudibranchs that steal defenses. In The Ocean’s Menagerie: How Earth’s Strangest Creatures Reshape the Rules of Life, Harvell explores how these spineless creatures have turned 600 million years of adaptation into a stockpile of evolutionary “superpowers” to thrive in aquatic landscapes around the world.
Plan to arrive and grab a seat in the Madrone Wine Garden by 5pm. Dr. Harvell will begin at 5:30pm.
