            Cafe Scientifique Duluth: Stopping the Stowaways

Stopping the Stowaways: Aliens of Lake Superior
Monday, May 1, 7 p.m.
Pizza Luce, 11 East Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55802
Free, participants must be 18 or older

This month Cafe Scientifique explores invasive species that are 
impacting the country and Lake Superior. What are these aquatic 
invaders, and how did they come to inhabit Lake Superior? What 
environmental problems are caused by invasive species, and what are 
researchers doing to understand this threat and stem the tide?

Join Doug Jensen and Dale Bergeron from UMD's Minnesota Sea Grant 
Program for a timely discussion of aquatic ecology and the 
environmental and economic impacts of invasive species. What is the 
future of Lake Superior's fragile ecology, and how is the shipping 
industry responding to this problem?

Cafe Scientifique is a monthly forum for science and popular culture 
hosted by the Bell Museum of Natural History in Minneapolis, and made 
possible by a grant from the University of Minnesota's Council on 
Public Engagement.
