A.C.E.S. - Honoring Sacred Times During Difficult Times

Catholics around the world (and here on campus) observe the Easter season just as our Muslim brothers and sisters have observed Ramadan, one of the holiest months in Islam. Catholics recently celebrated the Holy Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday, Muslims are celebrating the end of Ramadan, and the Jewish community will soon observe Passover. This year, these holy days have arrived amidst continued violence and war in the Middle East, making the observance of these sacred times and traditions a trying exercise. The Office of Alumni Relations and the talented faculty and staff of the Tuohy Center for Interreligious Understanding invite you to join us for an evening of reflection, courtesy of our talented Theology and Religious Studies Department faculty.

March 26 Virtual Scholarly Luncheon:You are what you eat: The story of how poison frogs become poisonous 12:00pm to 1:00pm The use of poisons as a protection from predators is widespread among animals. While most animals make their own poisons, some must acquire them from other organisms—often by eating them. Small and brightly colored tropical poison frogs fall into this category, and obtain their poisons by eating a very specific diet. In this program, Dr. Saporito will summarize some of his ongoing research into understanding how poison frogs become poisonous, and share with you some of his lab’s most recent findings, including how mothers use poisons to protect their offspring.
