March 26th exhibits!

Hi everyone,

Over the next couple of weeks we'll be posting information about the March 26th KTU event! Check back each day for information on the exhibits!!

"Why do we care about frogs' health?”

A storytelling session led by Dr. Tyrone Hayes

Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley
We live in a world full of chemicals. They’re used to preserve and flavor food, help plants grow, kill bugs and other pests, dye fabrics and clean our homes. Chemicals help us in many aspects of our everyday lives. While some chemicals are not harmful to us, our pets, or the Earth, some can actually hurt our environment if not used properly. Our program will explore the world of chemical pollution and the many ways chemicals can be both helpful and harmful. We will examine the impacts chemicals can have on people, animals. Where are these chemicals coming from? How have frog populations, other animals, and humans suffered? And what can be done to help the frogs and improve our own health?
