Join the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC) on Tuesday, Aug. 11 and Friday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m. for live-streamed programs. On Aug. 11, Kaitlin Haase, the Southwest Pollinator Conservation Specialist with the Xerces Society, will discuss what is happening in the world of pollinators in the Southwest. Then, on Aug. 14, astronomer Galen Gisler will give a talk on medieval Islamic astronomy.
In Tuesdays pollinator program, Haase will give an update on pollinators in the Southwest and discuss what we can do in our backyards and communities to help these important animals. In her position Haase works to create climate-resilient, connected pollinator habitat in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque areas. She collaborates with and educates public and private urban land managers in New Mexico and the desert Southwest on pollinator-friendly practices for landscaping, gardening and open space restoration.
During Fridays astronomy talk, Gisler will talk about the dozens of profound thinkers in physics, mathematics, philosophy and astronomy in places from Samarkand to Spain that prepared the groundwork for the rebirth of science in Renaissance Europe. He will introduce al-Kwarizmi (from whose name we derive algorithm), al-Tusi (whose Tusi couple is fundamental to Copernicuss model) and the precision astrometry of Ulugh Beg. The audience will also see where our names for most named stars have come from during this talk.
In addition to these two programs, join PEECs weekly virtual vinyasa flow yoga class on Sunday, Aug. 16 with Christa Tyson. This class is held every Sunday from 10 11 a.m. Tyson is the Visitor Services Manager at PEEC and has been teaching yoga since 2003.
All events will be hosted via the live-streaming platform Zoom. Registration is required atpeecnature.org/eventsto receive the meeting link and password. The pollinator and astronomy programs each have a suggested donation of $5 to attend. The yoga class is free for PEEC volunteers, $5 for PEEC members and $7 for non-members. Event registration donations and fees help PEEC continue to be able to offer live-streamed programming while the Los Alamos Nature Center is closed due to COVID-19.
