Meeting House - Do Fish Sleep? Fascinating Answers to Questions about Fishes, Lecture & Book Signing

The Committee to Save the Bird Homestead will present Do Fish Sleep? Fascinating Answers to Questions about Fishes, a lecture and book signing by Judith Weis, PhD, on Sunday, October 30, at 3 pm.

Fish are the most ancient and diverse vertebrates in the world, and they carry a lot of weight in our ecosystems and environment.  They may appear to live a dull existence, but these wonders actually possess attributes that would make us super heroes -- some can change color or gender, produce light and electricity, regenerate injured fins, prevent themselves from sinking, and some can even walk on land.

Dr. Weis is a professor of Biological Sciences at Rutgers University and the co-author of Salt Marshes: a Natural and Unnatural History.  

Do Fish Sleep? is co-sponsored by the Science Friday Initiative, the non-profit partner of National Public Radio’s long-running science news/talk program, Science Friday.

Do Fish Sleep?, the latest book by Dr. Weis, will be available for sale and signing. For further information contact preservehistory@earthlink.net or call 914-967-0383.
