On Saturday, April 20, at 1 p.m. at Stowe Free Library, come be entertained and enlightened by Dr. Betsy Sherman, professor of biology — and deliverer of truly excellent jokes — as she explains just why there are so many plants and animals on Earth.
It’s the greatest origin story since the Earl of Sandwich invented, well, the sandwich.
Once upon a time, Earth was just a giant rock spinning through space, but then life appeared and hit “chaos breed mode,” churning out tadpoles, trees and humans.
But why?
Well, humans, you can finally get some answers from Sherman, so come learn lots of interesting facts you didn’t know — and dazzle at your next trivia night — and then participate in the library plant swap.
