Pitcher plant seminar this Thursday!

As you all know, you should have read (or will read in the next 10 days) the article in your Packet by Stephanie Pain entitled "Gotcha! flesh-eating pitcher plants are proving to be far more devious hunters than anyone imagined."  

Nephenthes sp. by L. Shappell
It just so happens that this week a botanist from the New York Botanical Garden, Dr. Robert Naczi, will be speaking about pitcher plants!  This seminar, entitled "Systematics of Western Hemisphere Pitcher Plants (Sarraceniaceae): Old Problems and New Data from Symbiotic Arthropods" is open to the public." (Yes, this will help you study for your exam).
 
Date: Thursday, Feb. 17, at 4pm (free snacks and drinks at 3:30pm)
Location: Alampi Seminar room in the Marine and Coastal Sciences (IMCS) building (across from food science building), Cook Campus.
