Science on Tap: The Surprising Lives of America’s Rarest Butterflies 🦋

This is a pretty niche event, but whoever signs up is bound to have a bit in common. So if you're single and a little nerdy about science, nature, pollinators, endangered species, plants, beer, or learning new things... join us!

Here's the blurb for the event: "You’ve probably heard of monarch butterflies, but have you heard of a Bartram’s scrub-hairstreak? What about a St. Francis’ satyr? A Taylor’s checkerspot? In the United States there are 21 butterfly species listed as federally threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. All of these butterflies have unique ecologies that help them survive, whether it’s relying on a particular ant species for protection, or the regular bombing of artillery ranges to maintain habitat, or waiting for rain. With recent headlines of butterfly declines in the news, learn what conservation scientists are doing to try to recover some of America’s rarest butterflies and what you can do for butterflies in your own backyard."

And here's a bit more about Science on Tap: "Science on Tap is an event series based in Portland, OR, where you can sit back, enjoy a pint, and laugh while you learn. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge!"
