NIMBioS Posdoctoral Fellow Arik Kershenbaum answers questions from the audience at the Science Cafe.<\/p><\/div>\n

NIMBioS Postdoctoral Fellow Arik Kershenbaum<\/a> led a lively discussion on the topic “Can We Talk to Dolphins?” at a Knoxville Science\u00a0Caf\u00e9 last week. All members of the community were invited.<\/p>\n

“Science Caf\u00e9s are events that take place in casual settings such as pubs and coffeehouses, are open to everyone, and feature an engaging conversation with a scientist about a particular topic,” according to Nova’s Sciencecafe.org<\/a> website. The event last week is a part of a series of Science\u00a0Caf\u00e9s sponsored by the Spirit & Truth Fellowship of Knoxville<\/a> and held at a local nature center.<\/p>\n

After watching a series of short clips from a Nova<\/a> science documentary on dolphin communication, the audience asked Kershenbaum questions about how animals communicate. Kershenbaum is an expert on analyzing the vocal communications of animals. One question from the audience about whether animals could perhaps communicate telepathically led to an interesting discussion about forms of non-verbal communication in animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
