SUMMARY:“Shark Heart” in Real Life – The Science of Studying Sharks
DESCRIPTION:Learn about sharks and current research with Dr. Alexandra McInturf. \nSharks play a critical role in maintaining vibrant ecosystems in Oregon and around the world. Yet\, considered “dangerous” by popular media and threatened by human activity worldwide\, these organisms have faced global population declines. Dr. Alexandra McInturf has been studying shark species worldwide for the last decade\, including those among the most vulnerable. As an animal behaviorist\, she researches some of the most understudied components of these organisms\, including their social behavior. In this presentation\, she will introduce some of the key characteristics of sharks (what makes a shark\, a shark)\, talk about shark diversity\, and finally discuss some of the projects she and other researchers are undertaking on different species (including white sharks) in the Big Fish Lab at Oregon State University.

SUMMARY:Vision Roadshow: Drake-to-Juniper Event
DESCRIPTION:Since the release of the five-year Vision Action Plan\, Envision Bend has been working with vision lead partners to align efforts\, spark action\, and track collective progress. In the coming months\, Envision Bend will be hosting a Summer Vision Roadshow at various coffee shops and breweries around town for the community to learn more about various strategies. The first event on June 1st focuses on the ‘Drake to Juniper Pedestrian Corridor’ vision strategy. \nMeet outside the Commons Cafe at 9:00am for a 2.25-mile group bike ride in partnership with Bend Bikes to Juniper Park via the Midtown Crossings at Franklin and Greenwood. We will reconvene at 10am on the patio of the Commons Cafe to hear from the City transportation planning staff and Bend Bikes with updates on improvements to our Midtown Crossings\, the Hawthorne Bridge\, and the community’s shared vision to connect Drake Park to Juniper Park as outlined in the Vision Action Plan. \nStay tuned for additional Vision-themed events throughout the summer\, such as ‘Railroad Safety and Redevelopment’ on June 27th at Bevel Brewing; a strategy that was created from public input to move the railroad and address safety concerns. There will also be events focused on ‘Expanding Access to Childcare’ in July\, ‘Outdoors for Everyone’ in August\, and ‘City of Belonging’ in September. \nTo register\, visit envisionbend.org and sign up for the Envision Bend newsletter to stay up-to-date.

Its mission is to bring diverse stakeholders together to educate\, engage\, and empower all members of the Bend community to have a voice in our community’s future. In 2021\, as the successor organization to Bend 2030\, it reorganized and rebranded itself as Envision Bend. For more\, please visit envisionbend.org or facebook.com/EnvisionBend.
