Ask A Scientist: What's In Those Ships

May 23, 2007

The big "lakers" and "salties" glide by on Lake Superior, but what's in them and how do their cargoes impact our region? On Tuesday, June 5, Minnesota Sea Grant's maritime extension educator, Dale Bergeron, will discuss Great Lakes shipping. This free "Ask a Scientist" discussion will focus on the people, products, and stowaways floating in and out of the Great Lakes and will take place from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Blue Water Cafe, 20 W. Wisconsin St., Grand Marais, Minn.

All ages are welcome. "Ask a Scientist" is inspired by the internationally successful Cafe Scientifique and backed by Nova scienceNOW. To preview some of Tuesday's discussion topics, visit www.seagrant.umn.edu/news/aas. Eat, drink, talk science!
