COSEE-Ocean Learning Communities and the Seattle Aquarium invite you to attend our upcoming mid season event, “An Evening With a Polar Scientist” on Tuesday June 24th, from 6:30-9:00pm at the Seattle Aquarium. The evening event includes a presentation by Dr. Christopher Krembs, a biological oceanographer with the Polar Science Center of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. Dr. Krembs studies the microbial mechanisms that alter the sea ice environment influencing nutrients in the ocean due to climate change and ice retreat. His presentation is followed by a question and answer period. For more information contact Susan Bullerdick at susan@aquariumsociety.org or 206.838.3916

The evening begins with dinner and the opportunity to network, learn more about the work of the various programs and exchange ideas. Table discussions on arranging volunteer exchange programs across our larger ocean learning community will be facilitated. And scholarships are offered during the evening to initiate this exchange (more details on June 24th).

We will have a guest list at the door format rather than admission tickets. If you have any questions please contact Susan Bullerdick at susan@aquariumsociety.org or 206.838.3916.

We look forward to having you join us on June 24th!
