The Daily Bruin

All are invited to the university’s annual Dalton Lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, March 11, in Bauman Auditorium. This year’s lecture, “Two Degrees of Separation: Climate Change and the Pursuit of Truth in a Post-truth World” will be presented by Richard L. Lindroth, the Vilas Distinguished Achievement professor of ecology and recent associate dean of research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Lindroth’s presentation will explore the fundamental premises of science, how humans engage with facts, and how to improve science communication across ideological, cultural and tribal divisions for the betterment of humanity and the sake of the world.

Following his presentation, a George Fox student research poster session and dessert reception will take place in the Bauman lobby.

Lindroth will also speak in a class in Wood-Mar Auditorium at 3 p.m. on Monday, March 11, presenting a lecture entitled “What Can Chemistry Tell Us about Ecology? Insights into the Ecological and Evolutionary Success of an Iconic Forest Tree Species.” All are welcome to this event as well.

The training group will meet on Mondays at 5 p.m., Wednesdays at 4 p.m., and Fridays at noon in front of the HHP offices. If different times are needed, please contact Mary Imboden at mimboden@georgefox.edu and she will try to coordinate with other runners who want to run at that time of day.

Did you know that the Campus Public Safety office is the home of the Lost and Found? If you have found something, please bring it promptly to our office so it has a better chance of being reunited with its owner. Please come to our office if you have lost something and we will check for you, and if we don’t have it we will note it on a master list.

However, due to the daily arrival of lost items and our very limited storage space, we will only be able to keep items for a maximum of two weeks before donating them to charitable causes, so please don’t delay if you have lost something!

Questions? Contact Nadine Kincaid at nkincaid@georgefox.edu.
