Through the eyes of a fish: How nature and nurture shape life in changing waters Join us for Science at Sunset, an evening presentation at the Notre Dame Linked Experimental Ecosystem Facility, where Julian Torres-Dowdall, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biologicial Sciences at the University of Notre Dame, will discuss what fish can teach us about how animals respond to a changing world.   In this talk, we will explore how freshwater fish species adapt to shifts in their environment - from the way they see, to how they survive infections and temperature changes. Using fish vision as a starting point, we will dive into the ways nature and nurture work together to shape responses to natural challenges and human-driven impacts like lake browning and climate change. Along the way, we will look at how quickly evolution can happen, when flexibility helps survival, and why understanding these responses matters for the future of freshwater communities.   Light snacks will be provided. Bring your own beverage - no glass containers please. Registration is required by August 17 by calling 574-654-3155 or emailing bendixwoods@sjcparks.org.Originally published at environmentalchange.nd.edu.
