Description:
It’s tick season!
Temper your fear with fascination. Ticks warrant our curiosity (what do they do in the winter?) and our caution. The connections between their unique biology, transmission of pathogens, and changing climate make for a timely tale. Dr. Tom G. Schwan, retired after nearly 30 years of studying ticks and tick-borne diseases at Rocky Mountain Laboratories, will also discuss practical prevention methods you can use while recreating this spring and summer. You may just find your inner scientist ignited as you identify ticks along the trail!
