Sustainability Club Clothing Swap
Special Event
Do you have some clothes you want to get rid of? Do you want to get some new clothes but don’t want to spend money? Then make sure to come to the QCNR atrium next Tuesday, November 12th at 5 to trade in some old clothes and get some new ones! This is a great way to bring sustainability into your wardrobe! We can’t wait to see you there! Bring good quality clothes you no longer ear and trade them in for some new statement pieces.

Managing for disturbance: trade-offs associated with population resilience and ecosystem size
Major Professor: Tim Walsworth
Join via Zoom: https://usu-edu.zoom.us/j/5499674509?pwd=bQYb5vHb7qO98EPDMryaXnPY9Zq8nf.1&omn=89320113562
Ecology Center Seminar: Dr. Matthew McCary
Conference/Seminar
The Ecology Center is honored to host Dr. Matthew McCary from the Department of Biosciences at Rice University.
From Dr. McCary:
“My research examines the fundamental drivers and constraints of soil biodiversity, specifically how diversity relates to food web dynamics, community and ecosystem responses to environmental disturbances, and the feedback loops between food webs and ecosystem functioning. There are three major questions I investigate: (1) how do invasive species change soil biodiversity and associated ecosystem health? (2) What are the impacts of urbanization on ecosystem and community processes? (3) How does ecosystem structure affect food web responses to changes in resource availability? To address these questions, I use an integrative approach that includes observational and experimental studies, ecological modeling, and molecular techniques.”
Reception to follow.

EcoLunch
Breakfast/Luncheon/Dinner
Join us in NR 204 every Friday at noon for free pizza and conversations about various topics in ecology! Anyone is welcome regardless of background or experience, and topics range from discussions about specific scientific processes to broader questions on how ecology interfaces with society and politics. Come for the pizza, stay for the conversation (or more pizza, your choice). If you have a topic you would like to put forward or lead a conversation on, email us at either roland.q.eckhart@usu.edu or will.harrod@usu.edu and let us know! We are always looking for people interested in leading discussions or proposing subjects.
LAEP Speaker Series: David Evans
Lecture/Readings
My Life in the Landscape For more than 50 years, the landscape has been at the center of my professional life. From my early days in the design/build business, to my later career in downtown revitalization and teaching, the past 50 years have enriched my life immeasurably, and taught me an array of valuable lessons. These lessons are at the heart of my presentation, with the hope of inspiring students as they dream and shape their future.
Science Unwrapped: AI is an Astounding Innovation, but Can We Trust It?
Panel Discussion/Presentation
Science Unwrapped's Fall 2024 "Joining Forces" series continues Friday, Nov. 15, with data scientist John Lawson, who presents "A.I. is an Astounding Innovation, but Can We Trust It?" at 7 p.m. in the Eccles Science Learning Center on campus. All ages are welcome and admission is free. Hands-on learning activities and refreshments follow the talk. Artificial intelligence – AI – captures our imaginations with its rocketing innovation and surging accessibility. AI-generated text, video, images and voices seem like magic, yet can also be a wolf in sheep’s clothing with incorrect and misleading information. How do we harness this amazing tool, while curbing potential harm? Data scientist John Lawson, who uses AI to predict weather hazards, explores what it means, and the diverse skills, knowledge and precautions needed, to create trustworthy AI.
