| Details: | Why do fireflies flash? Because they want to be seen! But their unique bioluminescent courtship signals can be obscured by street lamps, house lights, and other sources of nighttime light pollution—and if we’re not careful, our lights might extinguish theirs forever. Learn more about the total impact of light pollution on firefly reproduction, and some methods whereby fireflies, moths, and other essential members of the nocturnal ecosystem can continue to coexist with humans on this increasingly urbanized planet.
Join us at Jack’s Abby Brewery (102 Clinton Street, Framingham, MA 01702) for food, locally-brewed beer, and thought-provoking discussions with various experts about their work in the natural world.
Admission includes choice of one appetizer.
