As our first "Born to Do Science" event of the season approaches, I'm getting very excited!
I have a new song ready to share. Then our guest geneticist, Cheryl Baker and I will ask the question, what can you do when Russian wheat aphids attack your crops? We'll explore the process of creating "super wheat" that can resist the aphids' attack. There will be wheat and aphids on hand to examine.
The program is Thursday, Nov. 19, at 6:00 PM at the Stillwater Public Library. Children in 3rd-5th grade are invited, along with their parents. Please call ahead to RSVP: (405) 372 3633
If you'd like to get a leg up on understanding the science, see the links provided below!
This clearly written article provides some really great background information for our topic!
