    20150129_Datura-2Native plant expert and ecologist Dr. Gwendolyn Waring will discuss the region’s surprising variety of poisonous plants, their beneficial and toxic effects, the evolutionary history of the relationship of plants and animals, and interactions between flowering plants and insect herbivores.

    Waring is a scientist and artist based in Flagstaff, Ariz. She has a Ph.D in biology with an emphasis on plant-animal interaction and approaches her research as an evolutionary ecologist. She is currently identifying plants that are associated with critical habitats, such as springs, in northern Arizona.

    “This season’s presenters provide great insight into the potentially dangerous flora and fauna that call the Colorado Plateau home,” said Sedona Muses board member Rebecca DeVault. “This lecture series is a wonderful way to learn about the incredible biodiversity of the region.”

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible.
