DESCRIPTION:Webinar on Wednesday, June 5 at 7 - 8pm PDT\n\nIn the lush garden of 
 nature, queerness blooms like a fabulous flower. It flips the script on 
 traditional narratives of what’s natural, rewriting them with extra 
 flair. 💫\n\n🌈 Did you know scientists have observed queerness in over 
 1500 species (and not just in captivity!)? \n\nJoin Megan Nguyen (they/she) 
 at POST and Dr. Christine Wilkinson, a renowned conservation scientist, 
 science communicator, and National Geographic Explorer, as we delve into 
 the complexities of queerness in nature. This event celebrates June LGBTQ+ 
 Pride Month and the beauty of diversity in nature. 🌿\n\nWhat you’ll 
 learn at this online event:\n\n    🔍Discover what “queer” means in 
 nature and how it challenges binary norms. We’ll take a mini deep dive 
 into queer ecology before learning about species examples.\n\n    🌟 
 Learn about captivating vignettes of queer behavior in different taxa (like 
 the difference between mammals and fish), unraveling the mysteries behind 
 why certain behaviors and life histories have evolved. This will be the 
 main focus of the presentation.\n\n    🏳️‍🌈Find out the buzz with 
 #QueerIsNatural and why it matters to us humans. From navigating book bans 
 to reshaping equity and policies, we’ll unpack why this movement has 
 stirred up so much enthusiasm and its implications for society.\n\nContent 
 Warning: This event will contain ample discussion of sexual behavior in the 
 (non-human) animal kingdom. Some information may be deemed “PG-13”. 
 Viewer discretion is advised.\n\n🌈 Explore the colorful world of nature 
 with “Queer is Natural”! Join Megan and Dr. Christine Wilkinson 
 virtually on June 5th at 7PM as we dive into the fascinating phenomenon of 
 queerness in the animal kingdom. To be perfectly queer (pun intended), this 
 event is a must for anyone curious about the natural world and its queer 
 connections.\n\nRegister today to secure your spot. See you there!\n
