Science Pub: Cool Marine Fishes with Milton Love
At Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 18 E. Ortega Street
Most of us lead drab and colorless lives as drones and cogs in faceless organizations. With his tales of cool fishes, Milton (only his wife calls him Dr. Love) will enter your world like a bright and fanciful rainbow, or a swatch of William Morris wallpaper, or perhaps one of those Baratza espresso makers that look like something out of a caffeine-induced fantasy.
Milton Love, Ph.D., is a research biologist at the Marine Science Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara. He has conducted research on the marine organisms of California for over 50 years and is the author of over 150 publications on the fishes and invertebrates of the Pacific Coast. Clearly having little or no life, Milton has authored or co-authored such books Certainly More Than You Want to Know About the Fishes of the Pacific Coast, A Guide to the Rockfishes, Thornyheads, and Scorpionfishes of the Northeast Pacific, and The Rockfishes of the Northeast Pacific. Proving that you can fool some of the people all of the time, in 2007 the American Fisheries Society awarded Dr. Love the Carl R. Sullivan Award for Conservation Resources.
Join our fun and friendly conversation and quench your thirst for knowledge about science and nature in this ongoing series of free science talks held on the second Monday of every month. No tickets or reservations required, but be sure to get to Dargan’s (18 E. Ortega St. in downtown Santa Barbara) at least an hour early to secure a seat and order your favorite food and drink.
