(may 30, 2012 - orillia, on) the next session of lakehead's summer of sustainability (sos) series features a special guest appearance by dr. jeff hutchings, a world-renowned expert in marine biology and conservation. this is the third event in the sos series of lectures and takes place on monday, june 4 at 7 pm, instead of the regularly scheduled tuesday evening sessions. the sos series features various speakers who are experts in their field, all concerned with leaving the world intact for future generations.

dr. hutchings, who was raised in orillia, is currently a professor at dalhousie university in halifax. his sos lecture about the effects of climate change on fisheries, aquaculture and canada's biodiversity promises to be especially engaging and one not to be missed. with close to 200 publications, dr. hutchings is a killam professor (a title given only to exceptional faculty who have distinguished themselves as scholars), and the president of the canadian society for ecology and evolution, among many other achievements. ??

"dr. hutchings' presence, says series organizer, dr. thamara laredo, professor of chemistry at lakehead orillia,represents an outstanding opportunity for the sos series and its participants. attendees will be able to hear a first-hand account of the state of canada's marine ecosystems and the challenges canada faces in its efforts to conserve and sustain marine biodiversity. furthermore, members of the audience will be able to ask questions and interact with a true eminence in the field. we are very honoured."

the june 4 event takes place at the university avenue campus at 7 pm. admission and parking are free. for a list of all sos event dates, topics and speakers, visit the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 orillia website.
