Michael Draney, Professor of Biology, and Chair, Department of Natural and Applied Sciences, UW–Green Bay. Spiders are a common and misunderstood part of Wisconsin's native biodiversity. They're also ancient, widespread, diverse, and important predators in ecosystems around the world. Two evolutionary innovations—venom and silk—benefit them throughout their life cycle. Draney aims to foster appreciation for and positive relationships with our spider neighbors. Fee: $10. Register by February 18.
