Next week the University of Wisconsin-Extension Oneida County, in partnership with the U-W Alumni Association and Wisconsin Public Television, is hosting the Northern Lights Tour.
"Wednesday Nite at the Lab" features local researchers talking about their investigations and inventions that are changing how we look at life and how we lead our lives.
Oneida County Extension Family Living Educator Sara Richie says one speaker is Jeffrey Endelman, UW lead researcher at the Rhinelander Ag Research Station...
"....there's research done here at the Rhinelander Agricutural Research Station. He will be talking about creating new potato varieties and how that benefits growers, processors and consumers...."
Richie says the second speaker is Oneida County Extension's Joel Knutson, talking about bats and citizen science...
"...he'll also talk about some difficult issues surrounding bats and how citizen science can be an effective tool to bridge the gaps in understanding neighborhood level ecology...."
The program will be recorded for later broadcast by Wisconsin Public Television.
The event is 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, July 29 at the Rhinelander High School. The event is free and open to the public. More information is available at Oneida County UW-Extension.
