Lab and Lunch: Getting Intimate with a Body of Water

While researching their book Natural History of San Francisco Bay, science writers Ariel Rubissow Okamoto and Kathleen Wong had many intimate experiences with the Bay. Using surfboards, wetsuits, and watercraft of all sorts, they learned how to follow fingerling salmon, plant eelgrass underwater, scan the subtle terrain of the Bay floor, and follow a speck of silt being tossed by the waves. Okamoto and Wong will tell stories of their research, sign copies of their book, and talk with the audience about their relationship to this unique body of water.

RSVP required for lunch.
