SUMMARY:Land of The Lichen: Presented by Science Friday and World Forestry Center
DESCRIPTION:Portland\, Science Friday has really taken a lichen to you.

Since his time as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California-Davis\, he has studied effects of fire severity and altered fire regimes on plant and lichen communities.\nJes Burns is a science reporter in OPB's Science & Environment unit. She is the lead brain behind the show “All Science\, No Fiction”\, which uses whimsy\, curiosity and fun to place a spotlight on scientists in the Pacific Northwest.\n\nArrive before the event and show your ticket to get free access to World Forestry Center's Discovery Museum (5:00PM-7:00PM). \nThis event is presented by Science Friday and World Forestry Center\, in partnership with OPB and Hoyt Arboretum.
