Science Pub Portland: Strange Life in the Deep 🐙

This event probably isn't for everybody, but whoever signs up is bound to have a bit in common. So if you're single and a little nerdy about science, nature, the ocean, cephalopods, or learning new things... join us!

Here's the blurb for the event: "Imagine spending your days in constant darkness, under crushing pressure, with little food and almost no oxygen. To humans, this seems deadly, but to deep-sea animals, this is everyday life. As it turns out, we don’t have to venture very far from Portland to enter an alien deep ocean world where animals glow to communicate, breathe without oxygen, and possess a suite of tools not just to survive, but thrive. In fact, the ability to live in harsh environments is extremely common on our planet – we just can’t always see it. In this talk, Dr. Lindgren will pull back the curtain and highlight some of the fun, strange, and amazing creatures that thrive in a dynamic ecosystem that flourishes out of eyesight in the deep waters off the coast of Oregon."

Wait, what is this event? This will be a casual lecture in the (very cool) Empirical Theater at OMSI. I've been to one before and it was really interesting.

Care to join us?

• Get your ticket ahead of time (the suggested donation is $8)
• Let's meet up at OMSI at 6:15 so we can grab seats together, get a drink/snack, and chat a bit before the presentation starts at 7. (If anyone wants to carpool, feel free to coordinate that in the comments.)
