The Valentine's Day edition of Science on Screen® is back for 2019! The event will include a presentation by Dr. Stacey Weiss, professor of biology at the University of Puget Sound, on the topic: Brighter females are better: A lizard tale of flashy females and discriminating males.
Film Synopsis
A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.
SPEAKER
Dr. Stacey Weiss is a Distinguished Professor of Biology and an award winning teacher at the University of Puget Sound. She began her work on sexually selected traits in females during her PhD at Duke University and continues that work today in collaboration with numerous Puget Sound undergraduate students. Her research focuses on female-specific ornaments in lizards, asking questions about the expression and function of both visual and chemical signals. In another major line of investigation, she examines the role of microbes in protecting eggs from fungal infection in natural populations.
There will be free treats from Old Town Delights for all attendees!

Reviews
Undoubtedly one of the most romantic movies of all time...David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
There's a vulnerable undercurrent beneath this film, one that beats and throbs with the stolen looks, brief touches and romantic under-the-stars kisses.Allyson Johnson, The Young Folks
The film asks us to consider the very nature and purpose of our existence in a fragmentary, superficial and transient universe.Dan Jardine, Cinemania
