Food, beer, and learning are on the menu in a happy hour forum that puts science in context through storytelling. No cover; food and drink available for purchase. *January Sip of Science - Volcanoes and our Past* *Kent Kirkby, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Minnesota* *January 14th, 2015; 5:30 pm River Room, Aster Cafe, 125 SE Main St. Minneapolis, Minnesota RSVP for Sip of Science <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=e0a88522ab&e=08d79a9424>* Volcanic eruptions are among some of the most spectacular events in our shared human experience. All too often though, eruptions are treated as historic oddities - unusual events of limited importance in the greater scheme of things. When typically volcanism does make it into history books, the mention is brief, focusing on the eruption and its immediate death toll. This myopic approach grossly underestimates the long term impacts volcanism has played in human history and how it has shaped our society. Join us for the January Sip of Science as geology professor Kent Kirkby presents the opportunity to acknowledge, perhaps even celebrate, the roles volcanism has played in human history. ABOUT THE SPEAKER A gift of three plastic dinosaurs at the age of seven sparked a career path for Kent Kirkby -- and graduate research undertaken while living in a mountain lion’s cave in the southwest confirmed it. Kirkby, now a teaching professor at the University of Minnesota, worked for more than a decade in the oil fields of Colorado and Alberta, Canada before returning to academia. Since coming to the university twenty years ago, he’s focused on developing more effective teaching methods often interwoven with storytelling. While his courses have touched on topics ranging from natural disasters and dinosaurs to the geology behind landscape paintings at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, all have focused on the intersection of human history and Earth processes. A native Wisconsinite, who has yet to develop a taste for Minnesota hot dishes, Kent has two sons who have fled the nest, and currently lives with his wife (also his best friend), three cats and a decent-sized green aluminum Brontosaur. <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=cf07a6079e&e=08d79a9424>follow on <https://www.twitter.com/stcNCED/>Facebook <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=c0b50a05d2&e=08d79a9424> | follow on Twitter <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=ce37b38260&e=08d79a9424> | forward to a friend <http://us7.forward-to-friend.com/forward?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=3b1c127c7f&e=08d79a9424> *Copyright © 2015 All rights reserved.* You are receiving this email because you signed up for Sip of Science promotional materials on the NCED website. unsubscribe from this list <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=46f943159f&e=08d79a9424&c=3b1c127c7f> | update subscription preferences <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage1.com/profile?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=46f943159f&e=08d79a9424> This email was sent to sjackzen46 [at] gmail.com *why did I get this?* <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage1.com/about?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=46f943159f&e=08d79a9424&c=3b1c127c7f> unsubscribe from this list <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage.com/unsubscribe?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=46f943159f&e=08d79a9424&c=3b1c127c7f> update subscription preferences <http://prrsum.us7.list-manage1.com/profile?u=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&id=46f943159f&e=08d79a9424> National Center for Earth-surface Dynamics · 2 Third Ave SE · Minneapolis, Mn 55414 · USA [image: Email Marketing Powered by MailChimp] <http://www.mailchimp.com/monkey-rewards/?utm_source=freemium_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=monkey_rewards&aid=3016a952adc4005d14fad6640&afl=1>
