This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. It will be on Thursday, October 10, at 5:00 at the Bell Museum of Natural History, 10 Church St. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455 (east bank of the University of Minnesota)
The Bell Museum is very excited to announce that Dr. Thor Hanson is our 2013 Duke Lecture speaker. Dr. Hanson is the author of Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle, among several other publications. A New York Times review quotes Dr. Hanson: "Feathers can conceal or attract. They can be vibrantly colored without using pigment. They can store water or repel it. They can snap, whistle, hum, vibrate, boom and whine. They’re a near-perfect airfoil and the lightest, most efficient insulation ever discovered.” There will be an opportunity for book signing after the event. To register, go to the Raptor Center's website, news and events. http://www.raptor.cvm.umn.edu/NewsandEvents/DukeLecture/home.html Susan Tertell ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
