Using diverse examples from around the world, Dr. Wenfei Tong will present vignettes about the private lives of birds in an evolutionary context, to show the science behind how much humans and birds have in common. She will discuss stories from her books Bird Love and Understanding Bird Behavior that highlight the work of participatory scientists and female or minority biologists and illustrate the talk with her art and photographs.
