This reoccurring event blends science with a social happy hour that’s focused on a unique topic each time. \nIn March\, two women in Science Technology Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) will talk about leading conservation efforts on the Channel Islands. Lara Brenner will share her work supporting the recovery of the island fox and island spotted skunk on Santa Cruz Island\, while Jaelean Carrero will discuss her efforts to protect the endangered San Clemente loggerhead shrike. Order a drink and pull up a seat to hear about the fascinating roles of women working with wildlife\, female creatures of the wild\, the challenges of conservation and how these scientists are working to restore balance to globally significant island ecosystems.  \n \nAbout Science Pub \nDesigned to spark curiosity and conversation\, Science Pub brings together community members and science enthusiasts for a lively evening of learning in a relaxed setting. Hosted at Topside in Avalon\, this program features two or more engaging speakers who each share a 20-minute talk on a theme. The goal is to make complex ideas accessible and entertaining. Whether you’re a seasoned science aficionado or simply curious\, Science Pub is a great way to connect with experts\, ask questions and enjoy a drink while diving into fascinating topics about our natural world.  URL:https://catalinaconservancy.org/event/science-pub-fierce-females-women-and-wildlife-recovery-on-the-channel-islands/ LOCATION:Trailhead Visitor Center – 2nd Floor Gallery\, 708 Crescent Ave\, Avalon\, CA\, 90704\, United States CATEGORIES:Education ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://catalinaconservancy.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Image-6-e1772157008267.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260321T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260321T150000 DTSTAMP:20260403T112914 CREATED:20260226T175430Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T210552Z UID:10001920-1774081800-1774105200@catalinaconservancy.org SUMMARY:Catalina Tile Making Workshop and Wildlands Excursion DESCRIPTION:Register Today! \n \nDiscover the natural and cultural story of Catalina Island through the art of tile-making in this special Women of Catalina workshop.
