Profs & Pints DC: Why I Choose the Bear
- Monday, June 10 - Monday, June 10
โMan or bear?โ asks a recent viral meme intended to draw attention to the risks that women face. Coming to the Profs and Pints stage to offer American black bearsโ perspective is Dr. Jennifer Mullinax, who has spent more than 25 years trapping, collaring, and tracking black bears and other large animals.
In a talk that promises to be more fun than a pic-a-nic with Yogi and Boo-Boo, Professor Mullinax will discuss her research on black bears from Maryland to Louisiana to Tennessee. Sheโll describe how researchers trap black bears and study their movements and behaviors, offering her own accounts of climbing 60ft trees to listen to cubs and of crawling into mother bearsโ ground dens.
Sheโll dive into the history of black bears populations in the Eastern United States and discuss bear ecology, describing how black bears survive in an ever-urbanizing world. Youโll learn how this once-disappearing charismatic megafauna is now expanding across the Eastern United States.
Professor Mullinax also will discuss bearsโ omnivorous habits โ with their tastes running from cheeseburgers to American cancer-root โ and how they make they it through winter months without eating at all.
Finally, sheโll offer tips for dealing with bears that will increase your odds of walking away safely should you ever encounter one in the woods.
