The Reality of Rodents

The talk went very well, the movies were great. The producers of "One Rat Short" sent me a copy of the film and a press kit, which I used to help introduce the film by linking it to my talk.

Melonie and Sicero were on their best behaviour and let themselves be cuddled the whole time. I think Melonie, who is more shy than Sicero, would have preferred being with me or Sicero as we're familiar, but she stayed under a blanket with a little girl whose pet rat had died during the summer and spent some time sleeping.

Here is a good write-up to promote the event:

And I hope that several of the audience members, who spoke with me during intermission, will drop me a note. It was a pleasure talking with everyone.
