Join us for Science on Tap, Thursday, March 6th at 6:30pm in the Cellar at the FLBC Pubhouse. Our speaker is Tom Bansak, Associate Director of the Flathead Lake Biological Station. His talk will be, “Middle Fork Flathead River and Floodplain Ecology.”
Tom Bansak is a freshwater ecologist at the University of Montana’s Flathead Lake Biological Station who currently serves as its Associate Director. Starting at FLBS in 1996 as a graduate student studying river ecology on the Middle Fork Flathead, Tom has since conducted ecological and water quality investigations around NW Montana, led research activities on large, pristine salmon rivers in Northern British Columbia and Southeast Alaska, constructed environmental sensor networks, and been active in the battle against Aquatic Invasive Species. Tom is also an educator who gives presentations to any and every type of audience and anyone who will listen. Tom and his family live at the base of the Swan Mountains near Bigfork, spending a lot of time hiking, biking, paddling, skiing, and shoveling snow.
Tickets are $5 a person.
Please note: No food will be available downstairs in the Cellar, please come early and eat upstairs prior to the presentation.
Science on Tap is an informal community gathering to discuss science around the lake, region, world… and sometimes beyond. We invite local scientists and researchers in our community to discuss and present their work and results in ways that are easy to understand and light on data and graphs. This is a fun, family-friendly event in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your curiosity and enjoy yourself!
