SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Route to NWREC
DESCRIPTION:Pedro will share about the passion and curiosity for plant physiology that led him to quit a five-year industry career to become a graduate student at UW-Madison in 2018 and—after completing a PhD—join Dr. Lisa Wasko DeVetter’s group to work on cold hardiness modeling\, cold damage analysis\, and horticultural practices to mitigate frost damage in raspberry and blackberry. Pedro will share experiences he hopes may be useful for early career scientists. \n\n\n\nOriginally from Santiago Chile\, Pedro Rojas-Barros developed an interest in plants from a very young age\, influenced by his father\, a horticulturist\, and his mother\, a landscaper. After finishing high school\, Pedro tried playing professional soccer in a Chilean second-division team (Union San Felipe) but was unsuccessful in making it to the final team. Still\, he enrolled in the Horticulture program at PUCV in Valparaiso where he earned his BS with a professional specialization in fruit crop production. After a few years of working in the Chilean fruit export industry\, he decided to do what he was passionate about and took a shift in his career.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Farm Stress Extension Program
DESCRIPTION:Don McMoran was born on a 2\,000 acre diversified potato farm in Mount Vernon\, Washington and grew up working on the farm including bucking hay bales and moving irrigation pipe all summer long. Working in the fields was long and hard but he grew to appreciate how hard area farmers work to make the valley what it is today. This presentation will cover the farm stress extension program from Skagit County Extension\, and why this type of outreach is so important. \n\n\n\nDon McMoran completed his Masters Degree in General Agriculture in 1998 with a minor in Spanish and a Masters in Arts and Teaching in 2000.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Working in Industry: My Story of 10 Years at Corteva Agriscience
DESCRIPTION:For many students\, the path to a career in industry can seem uncertain. What type of education\, experiences\, and soft skills are in demand for that first role out of graduate school? Come to hear one story of a journey from a Masters program in Plant Pathology\, to a successful and satisfying career at Corteva Agriscience. No two career paths are the same\, but the more knowledge you have of what a career in industry can look like\, the better prepared you will be to know if industry is the right fit for you—and how best to prepare for a future role. \nKaren Lackermann leads the Seed Applied Technologies Discovery and Development Group at Corteva Agriscience\, and is based at Corteva’s Global Headquarters in Indianapolis\, Indiana. She started with Corteva in 2013 and has had multiple roles within the Research and Development organization during that time\, including roles in both the seeds and crop protection portions of the business. Karen received her MS in Plant Pathology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2010\, with a focus on field crop pathology.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | The Secret Lives of Harbor Porpoises
DESCRIPTION:Harbor porpoises are one of the most abundant marine mammal species in the Salish Sea\, however there is much we don’t know about this often elusive species. Pacific Mammal Research (PacMam) has spent 9 years conducting behavioral and photo-ID research on harbor porpoises to learn more about their behavior\, ecology\, movement patterns and more. Did you know that individuals can be identified\, or that they sometimes wake surf? Come learn about what PacMam has discovered about these amazing animals and the exciting new research that is happening! \nDr. Cindy R. Elliser has spent over 20 years studying marine mammals. For 10 years she worked with Dr. Herzing and the Wild Dolphin Project studying Atlantic spotted and bottlenose dolphins in the Bahamas. In 2014 Dr. Elliser moved to the Pacific Northwest and founded Pacific Mammal Research to study marine mammals in the Salish Sea\, particularly harbor porpoises and harbor seals. Striving to better understand the daily lives of the species she studies\, her work focuses on long-term population monitoring\, social structure and behavioral ecology. Dr. Elliser is also Associate Director at the Salish Sea Institute\, part of Western Washington University.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Water Supplies in NW Washington State in Future Decades
DESCRIPTION:Probable future trends are not limited to temperature; we also anticipate changes in the type and timing of precipitation\, and total amounts. Better understanding of the future climate of the Skagit basin will help us implement policies for adaptation purposes. This presentation will review the observed and projected changes in the climate of WA state from a water supply perspective. \nDr. Nick Bond is a principal research scientist with the Climate Impacts Group (CIG) of the University of Washington (UW). He is the climatologist for the state of Washington. Family and friends feel that his interests in the weather and climate of the Pacific Northwest\, and their applications\, are borderline obsessive.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn | Introduction to Pollinator Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the importance of pollinator diversity in the PNW and beyond. Bob will explain the roles that solitary and social wasps\, solitary and social bees\, sawflies\, flies\, beetles\, moths and butterflies play in the pollination of plants\, and the importance of conserving their seasonal nesting and overwintering habitats. Bob will also discuss the importance of providing pollen and nectar for pollinators over an extended period of time by planting a diversity of native and ornamental plants that flower from late winter until early autumn.\n\nBob Gillespie is a retired entomologist who is using his retirement to introduce people to the diversity of pollinators\, the environmental factors that are leading to their decline\, and the important role they play in the web of life. Bob obtained his B.S. in Education from the University of Nebraska where he majored in History and Physical Education/Exercise Physiology. He holds an M.S. in Entomology from the University of Idaho\, and a Ph.D. in Biology (with an emphasis in Insect and Plant Ecology) from Montana State University. He received research funding through USDA/ARS Rangeland Insect Lab.
