UW-Eau Claire and Acoustic Café continue their cool “Ask a Scientist” series tonight with a program on insects. Quite timely since they seem to be hatching. Dr. Paula Kleintjes Neff – Professor of Biology at UW-Eau Claire and insect conservation biologist – will discuss the many benefits insects provide the planet. She will highlight the variety of ecological and economic services they provide, including those that have increased our understanding of science and influenced culture.

And then the best part: Time at the end is reserved for questions from the audience. So you can totally ask questions like, “Is a spider going to crawl into my ear while I sleep and lay eggs in my brain?”

The show starts at 7pm. Details.
