He is an evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist fascinated by the diversity that can be found within species especially in sexual traits. During his PhD he began studying White necked Jacobin hummingbirds as a STRI Short Term Fellow and later as a Smithsonian Predoctoral Fellow. His findings that some females of this species look like males while others do not has become the cornerstone of his research program. He is inspired by the dizzying array of feather coloration that can be found in hummingbirds. After completing his PhD at Cornell University he moved to the University of Washington to study hummingbird movement and metabolism. Now at the University of Colorado he is investigating the genetics and development of feather coloration. Jay currently lives in Gamboa Panam where he studies the hummingbirds that visit the feeders at his house on the edge of the forest.

We haven t always had the relationship with fear we do today. Not long ago, our ability to recognize our bodies reactions to fear and the unknown meant the difference between life and death. Author and artist, Mike Bass, will discuss how fear has evolved from the time of early humans, and how that affected how it grew and changed in North America. Presenter bio: Mike Bass grew up in a house with spirits and has always been fascinated by myths, folklore and the supernatural. He is a printmaker, folklorist and storyteller who loves hearing a good tale as much as telling one. In his art, he combines ink and pencil drawings with printed textures to create minimally layered illustrations with rough lines and simple and opaque palettes that work well with the folkloric subjects. He owns, with his wife, the Zip Dang shop in Madison, Wisconsin and is the author of the Folklore Oracle and Frightful Folklore of North America. You can see more of his artwork and read more of his writing on Instagram at Wiscomythos. https://www.midlibrary.org/EventDetail?ID=24890
