The next monthly River Talk is scheduled for Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Clyde Iron Works Restaurant (2920 W. Michigan St., Duluth, Minn.). Emily Graham, a researcher with the University of Colorado-Boulder will present, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: How Microscopic Critters Impact the Health of the St. Louis River Estuary,” which deals with how chemicals and microbes interact. This talk is being held as an evening event of the St. Louis River Estuary Summit, so a larger crowd than usual is expected.
Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) have teamed up to offer this series of science café-type evening talks about the St. Louis River Estuary. These informal “River Talks” began in 2013 and are held on the last Tuesday of the month through May. Grab a mug of coffee or maybe a glass of beer and join us!
