Utah Air Quality Lecture
Adopt A Rabbit Month & Winter Art Fundraiser
By Katharine Biele @kathybieleUtah Air Quality Lecture
Face it. No one really understands why Utah can't figure out the bad-air equation. The Stegner Center Greenbag Series, "From Particles to People: Why Utah Struggles with Air Quality and How This Affects Human Health," tries to get to the bottom of it. You'll hear from Kerry Kelly, assistant professor of chemical engineering at the University of Utah, who's also vice chair of the State Air Quality Board. Her recent research activities have been motivated by local and regional air-quality challenges. Dr. Robert Paine, chief of the University Health Care Pulmonary Division, will speak about his ongoing research to the causes and treatment of acute lung injury. S.J. Quinney College of Law, Room 6613, 383 South University St., 801-585-3440, Tuesday, Feb. 16, 12:15-1:15 p.m., free and open to public, Bit.ly/1PEess9
Adopt A Rabbit Month
What's up, Doc? Did you know that February is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month? Really. In fact, rabbits are the third-most adopted pets at the Humane Society of Utah. And why are they good pets? They offer the companionship of a dog and can be litter trained like a cat. They're good apartment dwellers, they live long and prosper and don't cause the allergies that dogs and cats do. Humane Society of Utah, 4242 S. 300 West, Murray, 801-506-2416, Monday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sunday, noon-5 p.m., $10/one rabbit, $15/two, UtahHumane.org
