Science Uncorked: Cognitive Aging
Presented by Rachel Thayer, PhD and Lori James, PhD
Growing older is stereotypically associated with declines in health and brain function, and there are real changes that occur during the aging process. However, there is also stability and improvement in many areas. In this presentation and discussion, we will review how cognitive processes change during typical healthy aging as well as pathological aging. We will also present research about effective ways to reduce some of the negative changes that can accompany cognitive aging.
Rachel Thayer is a clinical neuropsychologist whose research focuses on aging, substance use, and cognitive function. Rachel earned dual doctoral degrees in clinical psychology and neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder, and she completed her predoctoral clinical internship at UCSD/VA San Diego. She was a postdoctoral scholar at UC San Diego before beginning her position in the Psychology Department at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in 2019.
Lori James is a cognitive psychologist whose research focuses on memory and language processes and how these change during healthy aging. Lori earned her MA and PhD degrees in Cognitive Psychology from the Claremont Graduate School in southern California. She was the Research Director for the Memory and Aging Lab at UCLA before beginning her position in the Psychology Department at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in 2001.

(call 970-434-6868 to RSVP or email info@whitewaterhill.com)
Join us for one weekend each month for a deep dive into one of the amazing grapes that goes into making our award-winning line up of delicious wines! Wine Academy Weekend is a self-guided exploration that will outline the historical context, pairing possibilities, common tasting notes, and structure of each featured grape – as well as a look into the winemaking styles employed here at Whitewater Hill Vineyards as we transform this gorgeous fruit.
Wine Academy Weekend will run from 10 am to 5:45 pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you are welcome to arrive any time within that three-day period. Receive an interactive packet to take home with you, a delicious glass of the featured wine, and continue to expand your knowledge about the wonderful world of wine. Though many of these grapes have centuries of tradition throughout the world, their role in Colorado wine presents unique opportunities to investigate what Colorado terroir and adventurous winemaking can bring to these grapes. We will also cover some non-European grapes that are finding their way into the Colorado wine scene, are particularly well-suited to our austere conditions, and require a whole new repertoire of techniques during harvest and fermentation. Join us on the journey of Colorado wine, a dynamic and constantly shifting landscape on the frontier of winemaking with deep roots in community, tradition, and science.

Science Uncorked: The Truth About Wolves
Presented by Becca Sue Burkhalter of Colorado Wild
We will cover the history, current events, and ecology of wolves, followed by a presentation of the science behind coexistence. Did you know that killing wolves in response to dead livestock is likely to actually INCREASE the chances of another livestock animal taken by wolves? Did you know that the research shows us that coexisting with wolves is actually the most effective and efficient way to protect livestock from wolves? If that seems counter-intuitive, come learn why with Colorado Wild and Becca Sue.
The war on wolves has been waged for hundreds of years and continues today. Historically, there were about 2 million wolves in the lower 48 at one time, but due to deliberate, systematic extermination by humans, merely 300 remained by 1960. Today, the war continues. Even though we only have a few thousand left, we have lost thousands of wolves in the past three years, even losing over 25% of our “protected” Yellowstone wolves. This presentation will present the data scientists have collected over decades in support of carnivores and coexistence. “What is a wolf, really?,” “What is happening in Colorado today with wolves?,” and, “How can we help livestock producers shoulder the cost of coexistence?” and more will be answered.
Becca Sue Burkhalter earned her ecology degree from the University of North Texas. She has worked with wild canids and wolfdogs in captivity for 6 years. She has always loved wolves, but fell in love when she started volunteering at wolf/wolfdog rescues as an animal caretaker. She is proud to represent Colorado Wild — a nonprofit that seeks to connect science, ethics, and advocacy. We know that the only way forward is together, join the howl with us July 11th!
