West Falmouth Library

Lifelong sailor Bill Womack visits the library with a fascinating look into the history of the Beetle Cat sailboat on Wednesday, July 22 at 5 p.m. Free and open to all.&nbsp;
This program is brought to you in partnership with the <a href="https://www.chapoquoityachtclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Chapoquoit Yacht Club</a>.
Join the owner of Beetle, Inc. at the library for this unique opportunity to dive into the history of the Beetle Cat, from the Beetle Whaleboats in the 1800s in New Bedford to the boat’s present-day construction at the Beetle Cat Boat Shop in Wareham, MA.
Growing up sailing Beetle Cats in the 1950s out on Onset Harbor, and a life-long love of traditional wooden sailing craft, made the opportunity to own and work with these timeless, classic boats perfect for Bill Womack. In addition to childhood experiences and personal interests, Bill also served in the United States Navy with Seabee Team 1110/1114 in South Vietnam from 1966 to 1970. A degree in Civil Engineering and over 40 years working in heavy highway construction as a Professional Engineer and Operations Manager, helped to prepare him for the important task of preserving the art of traditional plank-on-frame wood boat construction at the Beetle Boat Shop.

“Neurobiology of Thirst and Hunger Drives” Liqun Luo, Stanford University. 
Because of the utmost importance of water and food, animals exhibit&nbsp;strong innate behaviors to search for and consume water or food when&nbsp;they are thirsty or hungry. These innate drives are also powerful means&nbsp;for acquiring learned skills and behaviors. In this lecture, I will&nbsp;summarize our recent work linking thirst to motivated behavior and&nbsp;investigating neural dynamics underlying thirst motivation. I will&nbsp;further discuss how animals resolve competing needs, such as thirst and&nbsp;hunger, across time.Liqun Luo grew up in Shanghai, China. He received his bachelor's degree&nbsp;from the University of Science &amp; Technology of China, Ph.D. from&nbsp;Brandeis University, and postdoctoral training at UCSF. Together with&nbsp;his students and postdocs in his lab at Stanford University, Dr. Luo&nbsp;studies how neural circuits are assembled during development and how&nbsp;their architectures enable them to perform specific functions in adults.&nbsp;Dr. Luo is currently the Ann and Bill Swindells Professor of Humanities&nbsp;and Sciences, Professor of Biology, and Professor of Neurobiology by&nbsp;courtesy, at Stanford University. He is also an Investigator of the&nbsp;Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Luo teaches neurobiology to&nbsp;undergraduate and graduate students. His single-author textbook&nbsp;“Principles of Neurobiology” is widely used for undergraduate and&nbsp;graduate courses across the world. Dr. Luo is a Member of the National&nbsp;Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and&nbsp;Sciences, and recipient of many awards, including the Pradel Research&nbsp;Award and NAS Award in the Neurosciences from the National Academy of&nbsp;Sciences, and the Edward M. Scolnick Prize in Neuroscience.
