Science on Tap is live again at Jack Quinn's! Join Cool Science for Science on Tap every 2nd Monday of the month [except this month- see below] at Jack Quinn’s Irish Pub & Restaurant in downtown Colorado Springs. Presenters begin at 6:30 pm and typically speak for 60-90 minutes including Q&A, with food and drink available beginning at 6:00 pm. A wide variety of fascinating topics are presented by local scientists for informal discussion, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages anyone and everyone to come explore the latest ideas in science and technology. From practical to theoretical, the presentations and group interactions provide a fun and interesting way to gain an understanding of the world around us.

Understanding Soil Chemistry in Your Garden
Amanda Morgenstern, Ph.D., UCCS and Allisa Linfield, CSU
Summary:
In this talk we will explain how soil chemistry is an important part of gardening. We will focus on the ideal pH of soil for growing different plants and how buffer systems can make changing the pH of soil more difficult than you might think.

Dr. Morgenstern is a chemistry professor at UCCS. She specializes in computational chemistry and has worked on research in the fields of density functional theory, enzyme and drug design, and is currently studying the effects of electric fields on reaction rates.
Allisa Linfield is currently working on her MS in horticulture at CSU. Her research looks at native plants and how they respond to different growing mediums and she will be developing finishing protocols for growers based on her findings.
