Description:

Tom Titus is a biologist, instructor, and author of the memoir “Blackberries in July: A Forager’s Field Guide to Inner Peace”. Tom will address how a pair of 12,200-year-old lizard mummies excavated from Paisley Caves, his University of Oregon course “Amphibians and Reptiles of Oregon,” and his popular writing coalesced into the grassroots and dirt-poor Sagebrush Lizard Genome Project. Along the way he’ll delve into the natural history of reptiles of the Northern Great Basin, how to sequence a novel genome, and the world of ancient DNA. Tom will conclude with a short reading from his spring 2017 Oregon Quarterly essay “Lizard Tales”.
