Bill Gette has led four natural history travel programs to Manitoba, Canada. His itineraries included visits to beautiful areas in the southern part of the province and to the province’s far northern port of Churchill. During this trip, he and his participants visited the Oak Hammock Marsh located a short distance north of Winnipeg, the small village of Pinawa near the Ontario border, the Delta Beach area on Lake Manitoba, and Riding Mountain National Park. In Churchill, located on Hudson Bay, Bill exported the vast tundra looking for nesting birds. Bill will share his photographs of nesting songbirds, shorebirds, mammals, and wildflowers.

Join Professor Sushma Subramanian in discovering the science of touch. In what she argues is our most important sense, she will examine the physical, emotional, and cultural aspects of touch and what this sense means, especially in an age of screens. Are we less in touch with our bodies? The physical world in general? How long have we been out of touch? This fascinating lecture will give you a new appreciation of this sense, including exploring the field of haptics and a look at labs that create the textures of everyday objects, from food to clothes.
