Bug Fest is today (Aug. 30, 12-4 PM) at Southeastway Park. Join CEES for this celebration of all things insect. We'll be at the Bats & Bugs station. Stop by to learn about bats & bugs and how to rewild a bit of your yard to help provide habitat for both. Free wildflower seeds!

Sand is more than meets the eye . . . .
Is there a pickle in the sand? No! Tis a piece of sea urchin spine (most likely).

[CEES @ IUI @CEES_IUI]

CEES is providing Earth Science Adventures with Microscopes at the Indiana State Museum today as part of the Girl Scouts Circle the City STEM event!
The event runs from 10:0am-3:00pm.
Come on out and join the fun - there is so much to see and do!

Invasive Species Awareness Week falls at the end of February/beginning of March. This is a particularly good time to remove invasive honeysuckle: honeysuckle is already leafing out (other shrubs are not), which makes the honeysuckle easy to identify.

Science Educators! The brackets have dropped for Mammal March Madness! Are your students ready for the challenge? Fun! Excitement! Suspense! The thrill of victory! The agony of defeat! And, of course, the occasional unexpected upset!

It’s the last day for the Rock’n Plant Sale!
Plant prices reduced! New rock inventory!
Stop by Innovation Hall and check it out!

The intensity of spring migration is picking up! Four birds were found today during building surveys for the campus Bird Window Strike Project. This ovenbird (a type of warbler) survived, but appears to gave sustained a wing injury.

Geology Club call out event going on now in Innovation Hall room 101.
We have pizza and cookies!

Spring migration is underway!
An American Woodcock was seen on campus today during a survey for the CEES spring Bird Window Strike Project. Fortunately the woodcock was alive and unharmed!

The CEES Team is at Brooks School STEM Night! This year’s topics: soil conservation and sustainable agriculture.

[CEES @ IUI @CEES_IUI]

Farming practice impacts on soils and sediment load of run-off compared. Conventional (tilled, no cover) versus sustainable (no till, cover).

[CEES @ IUI @CEES_IUI]

Slake test demo - a fresh run of the conventionally framed soil. The grass-topped soil chunk is from Sunday after.

Day 3 of HASTI!

[CEES @ IUI @CEES_IUI]

HASTI conference is in full swing! Stop by the CEES table to chat about earth science and incorporating sustainable agriculture topics in the classroom.
