Cafe Scientifique combines cutting-edge science and conversation in a fun, casual cabaret setting, often over dinner and a beer (or two). Throughout Café Scientifique's eight-year residency at the Bryant-Lake Bowl, theatergoers have regularly packed the room to hear talks on topics ranging from dinosaurs to exoplanets to the inner workings of the human brain. Every month, Café Scientifique offers an opportunity for anyone to engage with incredible scientists and researchers in an informal, accessible way.
Most people flush the toilet, drain the bathtub, or empty the dishwasher without giving a second thought to how their sewage water is cleaned. In fact, wastewater engineers use a diverse consortium of microbes to biologically remediate what we wash and flush away. Tonight we'll dive right into the wastewater pool with a conversation about how these incredible microbes clean our water and fluctuate throughout the seasons to preserve our environment.
Tonight's presenter Julie Johnston is a PhD Candidate in Environmental Engineering (defending April 6th!) at the University of Minnesota. She is a National Science Foundation Fellow, who did her undergraduate work in Environmental Engineering at Clemson University in South Carolina. She is also the founder of Queer Science which is the nation's first organization to bring LGBTQ+ high school students into research labs alongside LGBTQ+ scientists. When she isn't stuck in a research lab, you can find her cycling or going for long walks with her dog, Harper.
