New found-art beer name just dropped. What kind of beer would “Stone-Blind Zymurgy“ be, though? Anyway, we’re open all day. Ride your bike in and have a pint and suggest something. (h/t to @toppotdoughnuts.bsky.social for their delightful and random book collection and also their donuts.)

🦭 Ellen Weatherford Host and Producer, “Just the Zoo of Us” podcast “Man Vs Pinniped: How the humans of Seattle have tried (and failed) to keep seals and sea lions out of the Ballard Locks”

Throughout the 1980's and 90's, the steelhead trout of the Ballard Locks were decimated by sea lions and harbor seals. Attempting to save their beloved state fish, humans took up the task of keeping the pinnipeds out of the locks' waters, but outsmarting these agile and intelligent marine mammals proved a lot more challenging than anticipated. From boat chases and explosives to psychological warfare, this is the story of the decades-long rivalry between the pinnipeds and humans of Seattle.

🐦 Dr. Valentina Alaasam NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, UW Biology "Bright lights and hot summer nights: how birds are coping with urbanization"

Cities are some of the most rapidly altered environments on our planet. Light, noise, cars, habitat fragmentation, etc. all represent novel disturbances that animals must cope with to persist in these human-dominated habitats. Nonetheless, many bird species are abundant in cities and have seemingly adjusted to city life. Dr. Valentina Alaasam is an evolutionary biologist studying the behavior, physiology, and genetics of urban-adapted birds. In this talk, she will discuss some ways in which birds are responding to urbanization and some simple things we can do to help mitigate negative consequences.

Today is the anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens eruption! Smarty Pints is on the case! Come hear two scientists talk all about it. Talk starts at 630, get here by 6 to make sure you get a seat and a pint*. *it's important that you get a pint. That's how we pay rent. We have NA selections! :)

Prof. Harold Tobin
Professor and Paros Endowed Chair in Seismology and Geohazards, UW Earth and Space Sciences
Director, Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
“When Mt. St. Helens blew its top - and how we (probably) will know before it happens again”
Mt. St. Helens blew itself to pieces in 1980 in the largest eruption on record in the Cascade volcanoes. 46 years later, we can still see the effects in the landscape today. UW and USGS scientists recognized the signs of an impending eruption months in advance and sounded the alarm, undoubtedly saving many lives. Now, MSH is considered the most likely of Cascades peaks to erupt again – but how do we know? We monitor tiny earthquakes, bulges and changes in the land with GPS, temperature, and gases, all to detect any signs of unrest. I'll discuss the state of the science then and now and our role in it here at the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network.

Dr. Eric Wagner
Writer and researcher
UW Center for Ecosystem Sentinels
“After the Blast: The ecological recovery of Mount St. Helens”
On May 18, 1980, the world watched in awe as Mount St. Helens erupted, killing 57 people and laying waste to hundreds of square miles of land. Everyone thought life would take ages to return to the mountain, but scientists who visited soon after were shocked to find plants sprouting up through the ash, and animals skittering around downed trees. Ecologists have since spent decades studying life’s resilience in the face of seeming total devastation. Through their work, the eruption of Mount St. Helens has become known as the greatest natural experiment in Pacific Northwest history. Tonight, author Eric Wagner will take everyone on a journey through the blast zone. He will talk not just of the surprising ways animals and plants survived the eruption, but also the complex roles that people have played, all while showing how fascinating Mount St. Helens still is more than forty years after the blast.

Free with purchase, while supplies last: whistles. On a key chain, so you’ll always have it with you. In case you suddenly need it. Perhaps you’ll be coaching youth sports. Or directing traffic. I’m sure there are other reasons. They’re pretty loud!

Did you also have a recent work meeting or social event end with “Well, hopefully 2026 is better”? Well, get your 2026 off to a *better* start at our next Smarty Pints! On Jan 19 we’re going rock collecting – examining medical minerals & bringing home asteroid samples. See you here at 6:30!

Mark your calendars for the next Smarty Pints - November 17th! Gonna talk about How Grasses Took Over the World and How Clouds Control Our Climate. Should be fascinating! (And there's beer!)

🌾 Caroline Strömberg
Professor in UW Biology & Curator of Paleobotany at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
How grasses took over the world
Grasses are all around us, whether in the form of lawns, golf courses, wheat fields or the contents of your popcorn bag. Yet few people think of grasses as an evolutionarily extremely successful group, or wonder how they came to be so ubiquitous in less than ~30 million years. This talk will explore what we know about the evolutionary history of grasses and grassland ecosystems and how it related to climate change and animal evolution.

☁️ Aakash Manapat
Graduate student, UW Atmospheric and Climate Science
How clouds control our climate
Clouds are ubiquitous features of Earth's weather. However, their mundaneness hides a surprising level of complexity. Join me to learn about why scientists still struggle to understand clouds, and why clouds represent a major uncertainty when trying to understand climate change.
