Please RSVP on the CFI Secular Parenting Meetup calendar .

This trip is geared toward our Tweens, but parents and siblings (10 years and older) are also welcome! Plan for a 2 hour visit, and all information and activities (history, mission, observation exercise, etc.) will be covered. No photography will be allowed.

For middle school level students the visit to the Center consists of a brief presentation focusing on monkey behavior and observation techniques, followed by a visit to the sheltered housing units where students conduct informal observations and collect data using an ethogram. Since it is conducted largely out of doors, students should be instructed to dress for the weather.

Tour may also feature an interactive presentation about science methods, a presentation about current center research projects, a visit to the outdoor corrals to observe the Center's rhesus and Japanese macaque breeding colonies, a Center scientist discussing his/her research, and and/or a tour of selected labs.

Seeing Time: Geologic Clues to Our Ancient Earth

Earth’s beautiful scenery is old by human standards, but it’s much younger than the actual rock that underlies it. Rocks tell stories of much older periods in Earth’s history. Seeing Time, a slide show presentation by University of Oregon geologist Marli Miller, explores deep geologic time through field observations and landscape images. After introducing some basic geologic principles, she will lead the audience on a visual field trip across the Colorado Plateau and into Death Valley, California.

Marli Miller, PhD , is senior instructor and associate research professor in the geological sciences at the University of Oregon. She has been taking geological photographs since before starting graduate school at the University of Washington in the mid-1980s. She is currently writing a book on western American geology as seen through national parks.

Please RSVP on the CFI Portland Meetup calendar so that we know to look for you!
