Science On Tap 3/25 In Portland: Storm Chasing In The PNW (Photo)
- 03/09/26
Date: Wed, March 25th, 2026
Time: 7 pm
Location: Alberta Rose Theatre
Tickets: $15-$45
Event Website: scienceontaporwa.org/events/alberta_mar_25_storm-chasing/
Extreme conditions are rare in the Pacific Northwest, but when the forecast hints at chaos, a small but dedicated group of storm chasers and weather geeks across the northwest spring into action, ready to capture the extraordinary.
Join us as we explore the most extreme weather that the Pacific Northwest has to offer through the lens of meteorologist and storm chaser Garret Hartung, including strong southerly windstorms, atmospheric rivers, cold core tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, heavy snow, freezing rain, and extreme east wind events.
- What makes these events unique to the PNW?
- Why do we often miss out on some of the more extreme weather events seen elsewhere in the US?
- What makes storm chasing here so particularly difficult?
Science on Tap is a science lecture series where you can sit back, drink a pint, and enjoy learning. Listen to experts talk about the science in your neighborhood and around the world. You don't have to be a science geek to have fun--all you need is a thirst for knowledge! For more information on this event or about Science on Tap, visit Science on Tap OR WA.

How do your immune cells get their intel?
Who digests your food?
Who gave your food nutrients in the first place?
Food crops not only make their own phytochemical menu that add flavor to our lives, ward off caterpillars, etc, but plants, themselves, have their very own microbiome! From mycorrhizal connections, endophytic fungi, and nodule-forming nitrogen-fixing rhizobia, the interdependent nature of nature is an inspiration.
Come for a good “gut feeling” about your microbiome, stay to hear what soil and planetary health can offer. From microorganisms to macro-nutrients, from the garden to our guts, from the latest scientific discoveries to our beliefs, we will ask the question: what is possible by cultivating diverse communities?
Dr. Adrienne Godschalx teaches Microbiology at Lower Columbia College to aspiring nurses.
