Program Description

Event Details

Morehouse Lab comprises a team of biologists at the University of Cincinnati studying the evolution of vision and behavior in insects and spiders. One of their current projects is focused on the evolution of color vision and colorful courtship signals in jumping spiders. Dr. Nate Morehouse, director of the Institute for Research and Sensing (IRiS), discusses this fascinating work.

This free, virtual program is part of our lifelong learning series Empowered Minds. The focus of this signature service is healthy aging and enrichment for the retirement-age citizens of Licking County. All adults are welcome. Empowered Minds is supported by a sustaining gift from Robert Trimble Jr., a lifelong learner and, in part, by the Licking County Senior Levy. Donations are appreciated.
