June LIRA Meeting - Friday, June 5th

[oh207]

Hi Everyone,

The clubs next meeting will be Friday, June 5th at the Acan Lighting offices.

The June speaker will be Christine Williams.
Topic: "When Tanks Attack! Bites, cuts stings, and other ways your tank will try to kill you."

Christine Williams Bio (ReefThreads)

Reef Threads is a podcast and blog that discusses the most interesting subjects from the various forums, blogs, and magazines supporting the reef hobby. Reef Threads is produced by Gary L. Parr and Christine Williams, two veteran reef hobbyists.

Christine Williams started keeping fish while she was still a fetus. While the aqueous environment did lend itself to the hobby, it limited her to freshwater species, and so she decided to be born several weeks early. Through sign language, she demanded that her parents convert her crib into a reef aquarium and thus started her illustrious career in marine ornamentals. After completing her studies in biochemistry and molecular microbiology she went to work at ?Animal ER? where unfortunately she was not filmed for the Animal Planet channel (though her feet did make a cameo during a rescue segment). She frequently lectures on reef topics including marine animal disease, fish husbandry, human-tank zoonosis, and fish cognition.

Please see the clubs website, www.longislandreef.org for directions.

Hope to see you Friday, June 5th!

I'm looking forward to this presentation as well. I've had a few scratches from live rocks and swallowed a fair amount of tank water when trying to start a siphon by mouth.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been meaning to bring my digital camera and digital video camera to record the presentations. But even with that, we need to figure out the logistics of streaming/hosting and also securing the speakers consent, etc.
