What: Join the Boulder County Audubon Society for a screening of Speaking Eep! A Film About the American Pika. This film follows a team of women scientists working to conserve one of the North America’s most climate-sensitive species - the American pika. Using a combination of cutting-edge AI technology and traditional research techniques, population biologist Dr. Chris Ray and PhD student Rachel Billings hope to decode the iconic “eeps” of pika language and determine how communication between subspecies might help separate populations of pikas come together to adapt in the face of a warming climate. SPEAKING EEP! highlights women-led science and calls attention to the importance of the American pika as an indicator species. Ultimately, the message of the film is one of hope that focuses on the potential for these beloved critters to adapt to an increasingly fragile environment.
