Jonathan Plis sner\, PhD\, is a senior scientist with ABR\, Inc. Environmental Researc h and Services and has been studying bird populations and behaviors for 30 years. His presentation will focus on nocturnal activities and adapta tions of various groups of birds\, as well as the risks these birds face in navigating landscapes altered by human beings. \;\n \;\nThe Bi ology\, Behavior &\; Benefits of Bats \;\nBats are essential to th e health of our natural world. They help control pests and are vital pol linators and seed-dispersers for countless plants. Yet these wonderfully diverse and beneficial creatures are among the least studied and most m isunderstood of animals. Cris Hein\, PhD\, is a biologist with Bat Conse rvation International and has been studying bat behavior and ecology for 14 years. Cris will discuss the amazing adaptations of these nocturnal animals and their importance to humans and the environment. \;\n \ ;\n_________ \;\n \;\n*A note on the suggested cover: Nerd Nite is completely supported by money collected at the door.

Fruit flies are often host to parasitic wasps who lay t heir eggs inside the flies and which\, after they hatch\, consume the fl ies from the inside out. (Yes\, like the movie Alien.) Since fruit flies are often around rotting\, fermenting fruits\, the flies that are infec ted with the parasitic wasps will actively seek out otherwise harmful le vels of alcohol that has the effect of killing off the wasps in their sy stem. They can also identify the wasps by sight\, and when they see them \, they will lay their eggs on more alcoholic food sources in (presumabl y) an effort to protect their offspring from being infected in the futur e. [Todd Schlenke](http://academic.reed.edu/biology/professors/schlenke/ )\, PhD\, professor of biology at Reed College\, will talk about his stu dies that seem to show fruit flies self medicating and discuss how alcoh ol might be used as medication in humans as well. \;\n \;\n_______ __ \;\n \;\nScience on Tap is a science lecture series where you c an sit back\, enjoy a pint\, and laugh while you learn.

Two out of three people worldwide are afflicted with a parasitic disease\, and most people who harbor parasites actually are afflicted with a multiplicity of diseases. The organisms that are consi dered traditional parasites are either protozoa\, worms\, or insects\, a lthough viruses\, bacteria\, and fungi also meet the classic definition of a parasite. \;\n \;\nAt this Science on Tap\, Dr. Buddy Ullman \, parasitologist at OHSU\, will take a somewhat irreverent tour of the major time-honored parasites and describe where they live\, how they rep roduce\, and what effect they have on humans.
