Two lecture guests stop to examine a model that demonstrates how the amount and quality of groundwater produced by rainfall is affected by different types of soil environments. The exhibit hosts, Drs. Dick and Pat Richardson, are also faculty of the School of Biological Sciences. They are very active in public outreach and education to further conservation biology and soil ecology. Graduate students of the Department of Geological Sciences host a table that feature past lecture CD-ROMs, information about upcoming lectures, and some general biology textbooks.
Receptions offer lecture attendees the opportunity to interact with the featured speaker.
Here, speaker David Hillis receives some feedback on his talk on Central Texas biodiversity from his sons Eric and Jon.
