Lunch with a Scientist is an ongoing monthly lecture series at Cedar Creek. Each month, scientists present a general-audience lecture about their work at or related to Cedar Creek and take questions from the audience.
The series has been running since January 2019 as an in-person program. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it was shifted online in April 2020, from which point recordings are available. Programs take place on the second Tuesday of each month (11:30am central time), either in-person at Cedar Creek, via zoom, or both. Details about speakers and delivery mode are at cedarcreek.umn.edu/lwas
November 2022 was a fully-online program given by Dr. Amy Churchill. Dr. Churchill discussed plant chemistry and stable isotope analysis in the context of her research into plant community responses to drought.
