MONDAY -- INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

Daniel Simberloff to speak at Princeton University -- 12:15, Monday, Oct. 10, Livestream on Media Central-- A leading expert on invasive species around the world, he is editor of the journal Biological Invasions, which some years back published a book review I wrote about invasive species denial. Talks in this series can be geared more for scientists than a lay audience, but can often be interesting even if you lack training.
