Description
Jamie Cornelius is a mother, singer-songwriter and associate professor of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University. She studies how birds cope with unpredictable challenges in their environments and is passionate about ecophysiology, behavior and natural history. Jamie is a 2023 National Geographic Society Explorer and over the past two years she has been chasing wildfire smoke to measure the health impacts of smoke on wild songbirds. She will share her striking discoveries through a dynamic lecture that includes storytelling and music and will discuss the implications of intensifying wildfire smoke for birds in North America. Jamie considers Mardy to be a personal hero and is excited to honor the Murie tradition of biological field research, conservation, music, family and front porch gatherings!
Rain/warm layers are advised. Lawn chairs are optional. Parking is limited; We highly encourage you to park at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitors Center, which is a short walk to the Murie Ranch.
Olaus and Mardy Murie hosted some of the nation’s most influential conservationists on their front porch. Teton Science Schools carries on the tradition by gathering on Mardy’s front porch during the summer season to encourage meaningful discussions, and to share with visitors the importance of caring for our natural environment.
