The Bats
Dr. David Boerma, PhD., who will be giving this year’s lecture, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Pace University and a Research Associate in the Department of Mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History.
David’s recent research has focused on learning how bats recover from aerial stumbles and how their landing maneuvers have evolved in concert with the physical properties of their roosts. The overall goal of his research program is to resolve traits that drive species diversification by studying the evolutionary links among animal anatomy, biomechanics, and ecology.
The Brews
Bats & Brews features craft beer from Long Island breweries, as well as from breweries based in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Hudson Valley. Seatuck is proud to support and promote these local companies and encourage their use of locally sourced ingredients and sustainable practices. Participating breweries include the following:
Not Just Beer...
Thanks to our friends at NY Cider Company, we are excited to be serving Craft Cider at this year’s event.
We are also happy to offer a Wine Bar for our non-beer drinking friends thanks to the generosity of Costa Verde Hospitality.
Thanks to our Lead Sponsor, Cornucopia Natural Foods, delicious mocktails will be available for your drinking pleasure.
The Band
No strangers to the Long Island music scene, the members of Easy Chief have a long history of playing with one another in various bands and musical adventures. An American roots music band, Easy Chief taps into the many genres of American Music, including blues, jazz, rock & roll, bluegrass, and country to bring a high energy show.
