Adventures with an Internship Program through Conservation Pathways
Thu, Apr 16 · 6:00 PM EDT
Blue Tavern, 1206 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, FL, US
TSS SciSalon@BT: Conservation Pathways is a local nonprofit that serves high school and college students interested in pursuing careers in conservation. They work with students from many backgrounds and interests to develop field research, communication, and professionalism skills. Through these activities they also provide field trips to organizations and school groups to learn regional ecology, and help other non-profits fulfil their missions. Come hear the Executive Director, Rebecca Means, talk about the work Pathways does in the community, the many pathways to conservation, and how you can get involved. Conservation Pathways interns also will be there to talk about their experiences with research projects like indigo snake reintroduction, Apalachicola River slough restoration, and more. Come enjoy a beverage, eats, and conversation with other like-minded individuals.

Galactic Ecosystems: Engines of the Chemical Evolution of the Universe
Thu, Apr 23 · 7:00 PM EDT
IMAX Theatre & Downtown Digital Dome Theatre & Planetarium at the Challenger Learning Center, 200 South Duval Street, Tallahassee, FL, US
TSS Horizons Speaker Series: Join TSS at the last Horizons of 2026 with Dr. Massimo Marengo, FSU Physics, as he guides us through the Milky Way, our own galaxy. (Tickets available through Eventbrite.)
This presentation by Dr. Massimo Marengo, is a journey in space as well as time. We start by visiting the different environments of the Milky Way, and seeing how they are all interconnected, as if the Galaxy were a living ecosystem. We learn how a complex system like the Milky Way came to be, from its birth in the Dark Ages of the Universe to the present day. Galaxies and their inner components such as stars nebulae and the supermassive black holes lurking at their cores, orchestrate a complex dance that transforms the Universe. Like the Milky Way, all galaxies are the engines that forge its elements, from the primordial hydrogen and helium formed shortly after the Big Bang, to the rich variety we find on Earth and within us.
