SUMMARY:Science of...Milkweed
DESCRIPTION:Milkweeds and Monarch butterflies\, these two things go together like peanut butter and pickles…no really\, they go great together. But anyway Milkweeds are perennial plants which get their name from their milky sap. They occur just about anywhere and are critical for the lifecycle of the Monarch Butterfly. But\, these butterflies aren’t the only insects and animals that benefit from Milkweed plants. In this Science Of episode\, we will explore the different types of milkweed species found in the state\, and which creatures rely on these for food or their habitat. Just like Milkweed this episode is critical for you to watch!\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend this virtual event.\nPlease use this link to register: https://outdoornebraska.zoom.us/…/tJEtcuuqrj0sGdQc6pJeR…\n\nPlease contact monica.macoubrie@nebraska.gov for more information or questions.

SUMMARY:Science of...Slime Molds
DESCRIPTION:Not plant\, not animal\, not fungus…so what is it? It’s a slime mold. Slime Molds come in every color of the rainbow\, except a true green and can form strange and sophisticated shapes. Some look like honeycomb lattices\, and others resemble blackberries. And then you have the “dog vomit” slime mold\, because\, well…you get it. These organisms can be found everywhere and can be as large as 10-13 feet\, yet humans often ignore them. In this Science Of episode\, we will discuss what slime molds actually are\, what their purpose is\, and which species have been found in Nebraska. Don’t miss this interesting episode.\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend this virtual event.\nPlease use this link to register:\nhttps://outdoornebraska.zoom.us/…/tJUlduyvqDwjGtLopJ7…\n\nPlease contact monica.macoubrie@nebraska.gov for more information or questions.

SUMMARY:Science of...Tiger Beetles
DESCRIPTION:Tiger beetles encompass around 100 species in North America\, and it just so happens that Nebraska houses one of the world’s rarest- the Salt Creek Tiger Beetle. These voracious predators may be small\, but they are nothing to snub at. These insects are highly active and well-known for their quick running and agile flying abilities. Did I mention that they are also normally pretty brightly colored? In this Science Of episode\, we will talk all about these important animal components of the ecosystem and why these insects are so highly sought after by researchers.

SUMMARY:Science of...Armadillos
DESCRIPTION:Why did the armadillo cross the road? To get to the shell station. Okay\, so I promise the information will be better than the jokes. Although not native to Nebraska\, the Nine-banded Armadillo has made its way north into Nebraska. These heavy-armored mammals are such an interesting species they deserve to have their own Science Of episode. Join us in this program as we break down that armor and learn everything there is to know about this species and how it has shifted its range and ended up in the northern part of the United States. Don’t miss learning all about armadillos.\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend.\nPlease use this link to register: https://outdoornebraska.zoom.us/…/tJUpd-6pqzksGtN…\n\nPlease contact monica.macoubrie@nebraska.gov for more information or questions.

SUMMARY:Science of...Garter Snakes (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:It may seem weird to be discussing Garter snakes in February\, but truth be told you could be one of the lucky few to witness these reptiles slinking through\, or around the snow. February is known to have some warm days and that means you could see a Garter snake out and about for a short time soaking up the warm rays of sunshine. In this Science Of episode\, we will discuss all about the four species of Garter snakes found throughout Nebraska. These are some of the most common snakes that people encounter\, and I get it\, they can be startling. But\, come join us as we learn all about how to identify these snakes\, learn their interesting foraging habits\, and find out where you could see a garter snake in the state. Don’t miss this episode!\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend.

SUMMARY:Science of...Bighorn Sheep (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:When people think of Bighorn Sheep\, they may envision these ungulates climbing steep rugged mountainous terrain. But truth is Bighorn Sheep are native to the plains and bluffs of western Nebraska. These bovids have had an interesting history in the state and in this Science Of episode we will talk all about the reintroduction efforts by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission as well as the challenges these animals have faced\, and continue to face in the state. We will also cover their evolutionary history\, their adaptions\, and discuss their interesting mating rituals. Don’t miss this episode as we explore this interesting Nebraska species.\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend this virtual event.

SUMMARY:Science of...Gar (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Nebraska is home to around 100 species of fish\, one of the oddest-looking fish are the gar. Nebraska is home to two species of gar- the Shortnose Gar\, and the Longnose Gar. They are the only surviving members of the Ginglymodi\, a clade of fish that first appeared over 240 million years ago in the Triassic. In this episode of Science Of we will explore both species of gar in Nebraska and learn about their evolutionary history\, their amazing adaptations and their ecology throughout their habitat. Join us as we learn all about these interesting fish lurking below the waters in Nebraska.\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend this virtual event.

SUMMARY:Science of...Smell (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Each basic category of animal has its own unique way of smelling. Science shows that most animals have a sense of smell\, but the organ they use to smell can vary widely across the animal kingdom. A Turkey Vulture smelling looks incredibly different than a coyote smelling. In this Science Of episode\, we will focus on what it actually means to “smell” and what that looks like in birds\, mammals\, insects\, reptiles\, and amphibians. Why do animals need to smell\, and what are they communicating to each other by doing this? Don’t miss this episode as we break down many different smells and how animals do it.\n\nThis is a FREE event\, however\, registration is required to attend this virtual event.
