DESCRIPTION:Award-winning writer Mary Ellen Hannibal will discuss her new book Citizen 
 Scientist, which combines original reporting, meticulous research, and 
 memoir, and traces today’s tech-enabled citizen science movement to its 
 roots: the centuries-long tradition of amateur observation by writers and 
 naturalists.\n\n“The idea that science is something for a caste of high 
 priests to attend to is simply wrong: Science is all around us, and we each 
 can revel in its pleasures and processes. This is a lovely, empowering 
 narrative.”—Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth\n\nHannibal is an emerging 
 voice in environmentalism and a sought-after speaker connecting the 
 scientific community to the concerned public. Her writing has appeared in 
 The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, and Elle, among many 
 others. She is an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellow and a recipient of the 
 National Society of Science Writers’ Science and Society Award. She lives 
 in San Francisco.\n\nAmber Hasselbring will talk about wildlife on San 
 Francisco’s Main Street. It’s remarkable how the Western Tiger 
 Swallowtail butterfly has found home on San Francisco’s Market Street. 
 And it’s not alone. While some of the wild plants and animals found in 
 these urban canyons are rare, the vast majority are so common you can see 
 them every day if you take the time to look.\n\nFree admission.\n
