All This About the Brain!
And what’s a body to do? The neurosciences are hot! New and often surprising information about the workings of the brain, as well as the practical uses of that information, are getting a lot of attention in the media. On the basis of recent brain-research, changes in legal processes, educational strategies, personal decisions, medical activities, cultural activities and critiques, theologies, and outlooks on life have been promoted. How, as non-scientists, can we discriminate between the wheat and the chaff in all this? First, we need some good examples of chaff. Then we need to learn where to look for guidance and reliable information, and gather some good examples. And we can focus on some of the most exciting gifts of recent research. No background in science is assumed for this project. |

Try Your Hand at Providing for Migrating Birds:
Neo-tropical Migrants, Your Backyard’s Bounty
New-tropical migrating birds have been welcoming themselves to the bounty of our region for millennia. They have cultivated important relationships with the native flora, have welcomed themselves to the waterways, meadows, and woodlands of the region, and have explored the energistic advantages of insects, seed, and nectars. Learn how you can participate in this ancient conversation by being an even better host to neo-tropical migrants as they pass through our region. Find out about how we can work together to welcome the migrants on their journey offering appropriate and nutritional food-bearing plants, sheltering vegetation, and attractive yard spaces for birds. Landscape design and selectively planted spaces, in conjunction with basic bird know-how, will be taught in this workshop. |
