Join Professor Cassie Stoddard for a fascinating journey into the sensory world of birds, from brilliant plumage and ultraviolet vision to hummingbird behavior and the remarkable design of bird eggs. She will also highlight the Princeton Better for Birds Project, a multifaceted collaboration that works to reduce bird–building collisions and to foster a bird-friendly campus through art and community outreach. The talk concludes with a virtual preview of Princeton’s extraordinary bird collection — 6,000 specimens soon to be housed in a state-of-the-art space in Briger Hall. Stoddard is a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the director of Princeton’s Center on Science and Technology.
