made by scientists and
others continually redefine what we know, and what we do not know about
the
origins of earth and life. Science is not an arrival, but a journey
with
many questions. Behind each locked door that has been opened are still
more doors and more locks. This lecture series will explore the
wonders
of new discoveries and current research in the field of natural
history. <o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

discovery with Edith Widder,
recipient of the “genius” award from the MacArthur
Foundation. Dr. Widder is a biologist and deep-sea explorer that
specializes in bioluminescence (the light chemically produced by many
ocean
organisms) and has been a leader in the design of new submersible
vehicles. Dr. Widder will share with us her most recent
discoveries. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style="font-size: 12pt;">Caitlin O’Connell has spent 14 years
researching the complexities
of elephant behavior. Fascinated by the particular way that elephants
seemed to be listening with their feet, she hypothesized that the
elephants
were communicating with sound waves that travel within the surface of
the
ground as opposed to the air. Her efforts over the next decade to
prove
this hypothesis took her to the bayous of <st1:State
