Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don’t have to be a science geek to have fun—all you need is a thirst for knowledge!</p> <p>Cost: $8 online advance tickets, $10* suggested cover at the door. This is an all-ages event.</p> <p>Food & Drink: Beer, wine, pizza slices, popcorn and snacks available.</p> <p>Event Description:</p> <p>In addition to being tasty, oysters are a critical member of the ecosystem and the economic reality of the Pacific Northwest. And they’re in trouble. Invasive species and changing ocean conditions have killed thousands of oysters and cost the industry millions of dollars a year, but the recent publication of the Pacific Oyster genome has led to new ideas to try to overcome these losses. At this Science on Tap, Dr. Steve Sylvester, a molecular biologist at WSU Vancouver, will give a brief history of oystering in the Northwest and tell us his ongoing research aimed at helping the oyster industry to overcome biological and chemical problems that limit production.</p> <hr> <p>Science on Tap at the Kiggins is produced in partnership with Washington State University Vancouver.</p> <hr> <p>*A note on the suggested cover at the door: Science on Tap is supported, in part, by money collected at the door. We are committed to offering educational opportunities to adults who want to learn, so if $10 is a hardship for you, please come anyway and donate what you can.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.viaproductions.org/events/kiggins_sept_9_oysters/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
