Science Pub Portland: Poop: The Evolutionary Wonder
With Chelsea Whyte, science communicator, senior news editor at New Science magazine.
SEPT 19, 7-9PM | Doors @ 6PM | Advance tickets recommended; $5 suggested donation
Throughout history, poop has been used as a currency, as a weapon and as a medical treatment. We’ll explore how creatures large and small produce this crucial waste product, and discover how the evolution of the human gut may have been the key to our dominance in the animal kingdom.
