Upcoming Event:
What a Fish Knows, with Biologist and Author Jonathan Balcombe
Wednesday, May 24th, 2017, at 7:30 PM
Perrot Memorial Library


Do fishes think? Do they really have three-second memories? And can they recognize the humans who peer back at them from above the surface of the water? Find out the answers to these questions when Perrot welcomes biologist Jonathan Balcome for a discussion of his best-selling and award-winning book, What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins. The Director of Animal Sentience at the Humane Society Institute for Science and Policy in Washington, D.C., Balcombe will take us under the sea, through streams and estuaries, and to the other side of the aquarium glass to reveal the surprising capabilities of fishes.
