Presented by Amy Lambert, Lecturer, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, University of Washington Bothell

What happens when a butterfly is rediscovered after it was thought extinct for 90 years? This presentation will explore the gap in the account of the island marble butterfly — and examine why the conservation of this animal is significant. Our willingness to help prevent this animal from slipping into extinction is also an opportunity to talk to one another about the things that are most important to us.

The University of Washington Bothell and McMenamins co-sponsor this speaker series in which university faculty and other notables from the community share their expertise through entertaining and informal talks. Learn about interesting topics and issues of the day while enjoying the hospitality of Anderson School’s Haynes’ Hall. It's like being back in the classroom -- except this time you get to settle into comfortable seats and enjoy a drink or two with dinner while you listen and learn.
