SUMMARY:Composting in the Cold
DESCRIPTION:Did you know you can keep composting your food scraps even after the leaves fall and the snow begins to fly? This workshop will address how to optimize your fall leaf cleanup and ready your back yard compost system for hibernation. Beginning composters welcome. \nThis workshop will be led by Jennifer Armstrong.\nJennifer Armstrong has been gardening since childhood. Making compost for the garden has always been a strong motivation\, and now keeping food waste out of the landfill is an additional motivation. She is the chair of Sustainable Saratoga’s Compost Committee\, and has led numerous workshops in the area to help people get started with composting – whether they want the end product for their garden or not. \nComposting in the Cold is co-sponsored by Pitney Meadows Community Farm and Sustainable Saratoga. \nSustainable Saratoga is a not-for-profit organization that promotes sustainable practices and the protection of natural resources\, through education\, advocacy and action\, for the benefit of current and future generations in the Saratoga Springs area. The organization’s projects and events focus on 5 categories within sustainability: zero waste\, urban forestry\, pollinators\, land use\, and climate and energy. \nFounded in 2016\, Pitney Meadows Community Farm’s mission is to celebrate and explore agricultural education\, healthy food production\, and recreation on this preserved working farm. Located on 166 acres in the heart of the City of Saratoga Springs and preserved in perpetuity as a working farm\, Pitney Meadows is a unique resource. We’re committed to being good stewards of the land and serving the community that invested their tax dollars to preserve the Farm as open space. \nRegister here: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/Nq2JungpLVX9Br_uGwxlXA?t=1711123483

SUMMARY:Science on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Science On Tap is a monthly series of informal talks led by scientists that explore current research topics and the importance of science in our daily life. Each talk takes place in a relaxed pub atmosphere where communication flows freely between scientists and the public. Co-presented by Skidmore’s Environmental Studies and Sciences Department and Sustainable Saratoga\, these monthly opportunities for discussion reflect the unique intellectual culture of the greater Capital Region and promote scientific literacy. \nThe next Science on Tap is Wednesday\, January 29 @ 7:00 pm. \nAdmission is free and all ages are welcome. Come early to get a bite to eat. The talk will start promptly at 7:00pm. \nSpeaker: Professor Casey Schofield \nTalk title: To Disclose or Withhold: Capturing and Understanding Mental Health Stigma \n\nTalk description: As prevalence rates for mental illness rise – especially among young adults – so too do the pressures associated with navigating the decision of whether (and when) to disclose the experience of a mental illness. Dr. Schofield’s research program explores the nature and impact of stigma outcomes associated with such disclosure\, as well as the role that social pressures play in constraining people’s willingness to authentically report stigmatizing attitudes. This research talk will present data from a series of studies concerned with exploring impacts of disclosure for young adults in particular\, across the contexts of college admissions and college housing decisions. \nBrief bio: Casey Schofield\, PhD is a Professor of Psychology at Skidmore College and a licensed clinical psychologist. She completed her doctoral training at Binghamton University\, and both her postdoctoral residency and fellowship at Brown University. Her research program documents the presence and nature of mental health stigma for patients with mood and anxiety disorders – from young adults to perinatal women. In addition\, this work confronts the measurement challenges that present when assessing socially sensitive topics. She teaches coursework across the psychology curriculum\, including Introduction to Psychological Science\, Research Methods and Statistics\, Psychological Disorders\, and Psychological Testing. She maintains a small private practice offering evidence-based psychotherapy for anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In 2023 New York led the nation\, applying more than 600\,000 tons of dry sodium chloride road salt. Road salt enters our watersheds\, negatively affecting drinking water quality and stream health. Nonetheless\, there has been little investigation into how road salt in New York is affecting the health of benthic invertebrates\, key players in stream food webs. Many benthic macroinvertebrates\, aquatic insects who feed on the bottom of stream\, break down plant matter\, a key component of aquatic nutrient cycles. They are also a primary food source for fish\, amphibians\, and birds. Exposure to high amounts of chloride can cause invertebrates physiological stress or death\, and thus road salt usage directly impacts the abundance of diversity of benthic invertebrates in our streams. Understanding the extent in which New York’s abnormally high use of road salt is affecting our steam ecosystems is key for watershed conversation\, including setting data-informed recommendations for limits on pollution concentrations. \nMelissa DeSiervo\, PhD\, is an assistant professor in the Biology Department at Union College (Schenectady\, NY). She is a population and community ecologist interested in species interactions and movement in a rapidly changing world. She primarily works on plants and insects in a variety of local and non-local ecosystems including forests\, grasslands\, ponds\, and freshwater streams. \n\nScience on Tap Saratoga
