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
January was a fully-online program given by Seth Thompson. Dr. Thompson discussed his Ph.D work exploring the movement and impacts of phosphorus biogeochemistry and dissolved organic matter in freshwater systems in Minnesota and South Dakota.
