It was a small but eager gathering at the inaugural STEAM Storytime at Baldwin Hills Public Library this weekend. My fellow researcher from the Wilson Ranin Lab at UCR and I read stories about pollinators to the kids in attendance, had a science show and tell where we looked at bee specimens and hummingbird feathers under the microscope, and made DIY recycled bottle hummingbird feeders.
A big thank you to the CNPS Educational Grants Committee for awarding funds from the Helen Sharsmith & Gertrude R. Hardman grants to my research on California pollination networks. These funds will go towards research in untangling visitation and pollination rates of hummingbirds at plants not normally thought of as "hummingbird syndrome" plants. http://www.cnps.org/cnps/education/grants.php
