SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"The Neotropical Miocene biome of La Venta (Colombia)\"
DESCRIPTION:The La Venta deposits in Colombia are one of the most fossil-rich regions in tropical South America and offer an exceptional opportunity to study the effect of the Miocene climatic changes and the evolution of extinct and extant clades in a low-latitude ecosystem. Land and freshwater vertebrates\, and less commonly plants and invertebrates\, constitute most of the La Venta fossils. The mammal record has been studied for nearly a century and has been used to define the Laventan Age/Stage c. 13.5-11.8 million years old. Recently\, Colombian and international researchers have joined collection and research efforts\, resulting in the establishment of a new La Venta natural history museum (Museo de Historia Natural La Tatacoa). This new wave of paleontological and geological studies has provided an improved stratigraphy of La Venta and new paleobiological and evolutionary hypotheses of several vertebrate groups\, and in the museum’s educational and outreach activities. This talk will review the paleontological knowledge of La Venta\, identify knowledge gaps\, and discuss future research directions. A century after the first paleontological expedition\, La Venta’s fossil record continues to illuminate the evolution of the South American tropical biodiversity during the Miocene.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Manoomin – The Good Berry
DESCRIPTION:Manoomin\, or wild rice\, is native to the rivers and lakes of northern Michigan and is an integral plant both economically and culturally. As part of the 2025 Summer Lecture Series at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, Frank Zomer will discuss the importance of manoomin to Anishinaabe people\, the history of manoomin in Michigan\, reasons for its loss/decline across the state\, and where we are now. He’ll provide many examples specific to his work as Inland Fisheries Biologist for the Bay Mills Indian Community and also talk generally about trends across the state.\n\nZomer leads the manoomin restoration program for the tribe. He also is active in the restoration of manoomin statewide as the co-chair of the Michigan Wild Rice Initiative which brings together all 12 Michigan Tribes and state and federal agencies to promote and protect manoomin in Michigan. Frank enjoys spending time outdoors in Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula with his wife and three children.\n\nThe U-M Biological Station — the largest of U-M's campuses at more than 10\,000 forested acres surrounded by lakes — is one of the nation's largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.\n\nFounded in 1909\, the Biological Station supports long-term research and education. It is where students and scientists from across the globe live and work as a community to learn from the place.\n\nThe Summer Lecture Series is a tradition at UMBS\, where we explore scientific topics with distinguished guest speakers from across the country so our community can learn about our natural world.\n\nThe free\, public talks are on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer in Gates Lecture Hall at the University of Michigan Biological Station\, located at 9133 Biological Rd. in Pellston\, Michigan — about 20 miles south of the Mackinac Bridge.

SUMMARY:Performance:Fantastic Cat
DESCRIPTION:“The Traveling Wilburys of smart indie pop” –Glide Magazine\n\nFantastic Cat almost died. Each member also individually (but at separate times) faced devastating heartbreak\, went to jail\, got sober\, almost quit music entirely\, reconnected with a long-estranged family member\, started making music again\, hit rock bottom\, had a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger who changed their perspective on life\, almost quit music entirely a second time\, reconciled their progressive\, liberal ways with their strict\, conservative upbringing\, and embraced the raw power of their sexuality. It was quite a summer.\n \nAnd sure\, you may be reading this right now saying\, “Wow\, that kind of sounds like the band just basically jammed every album bio cliché they could think of into a single paragraph without anything to back it up in a pathetically transparent attempt to generate press coverage.” But that kind of cynical thinking is exactly why GQ owns Pitchfork now (or whatever the hell happened there). Anyway\, it’s all real\, and if it makes for the kind of inspirational headline that editors and advertisers alike both find highly clickable\, then so be it.\n \nYou see\, two years ago\, Fantastic Cat was nothing more than a little-known rock band with a cult following (their fans were primarily members of Heaven’s Gate). That all changed with the release of their award-eligible debut\, The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat\, which garnered the kind of press you simply can’t make up. USA Today proclaimed\, “We don’t have a music writer anymore\,” while NPR received multiple copies of the album in the mail\, and The New York Times’ Jon Pareles declared\, “I’m currently out of the office and will respond when I return.”\n \nIndividually\, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with a litany of critical acclaim. Paste declared Don DiLego’s latest album a “stunner.” NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne’s new record “the sleeper album of the year” and praised Mike Montali’s band\, Hollis Brown\, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.” Collectively\, though\, the four transcend their respective roots\, emerging as velvet-clad rock and roll cooperative far greater than the sum of its parts. \n \nToday\, Fantastic Cat is back and older than ever\, taking America by storm with their newest album\, Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat.\n\nWith Meaghan Farrell!
