Join us our next science cafe in two weeks (Monday, January 26th). We'll be hearing from Dr. Larkin Powell from UNL.

The landscapes of the Great Plains reflect generations of human decisions, often made with good intentions and little awareness of long-term consequences. In this talk, Dr. Larkin Powell explores how individual choices—repeated across farms, ranches, and communities—have reshaped ecosystems, agriculture, and rural life. Drawing from his book The Best of Intentions, Powell examines how social and economic forces allow change to spread rapidly across the land, and how ecological consequences often emerge slowly and quietly. The talk offers an honest assessment of what has been gained and lost, and challenges audiences to consider how intentional design and shared responsibility can help shape more resilient landscapes for tomorrow.
