There is no better time than winter to connect with the community and learn something new about the amazing planet we all inhabit. Join Thor Hanson at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9 for a lively investigation of how plants and animals are responding to climate change — moving, adapting and evolving in real-time, all around us. From lizards in hurricanes to wandering trees to the feeding habits of bees, bears, and beetles, the stories in this talk explore the biological challenges of life on a changing planet. Biologist Hanson is a long-time islander and the author of several award-winning books, including “Buzz,” “Feathers,” and “The Triumph of Seeds.”
