July 10, 2025 - Jacob Job, Communications Director
Our July presenter will be Dr. Jacob Job, our Communications Director. On any given night, dense clouds of dark, ghostly figures pass over your head as you sleep. Maybe you never knew they were there, but there are people out there who are deciphering all the unseen movement that happens amid the darkness. Dr. Jacob Job will reveal the mysteries of nocturnal bird migration through the monitoring of their nocturnal communications, a field of study still very much in its infancy.
