Sex and the Suburban Frog
A presentation on Sex and the Suburban Frog will be featured at the annual meeting of the Branford Land Trust on Wednesday, May 25 at the Blackstone Memorial Library at 758 Main Street in Branford. The talk will be delivered by David K. Skelly of Madison, director of the Peabody Museum of Natural History and the Frank R. Oastler Professor of Ecology at the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies at Yale University. A brief business meeting will take place as well. The event starts at 7 p.m.
Skelley asks, “Have you ever thought about what happens to the chemicals in your everyday life after you are done using them?” Soap, medication, household cleaners, and even the residue on that new plastic food container all contain chemical compounds that can be biologically active, he says. Through a combination of wildlife biology and environmental chemistry, Skelly explores the fate and impact of the chemicals that leave the average suburban homes.
