Almost exactly one year ago, I visited Noon Whistle’s Lombard Brewpub (800 E. Roosevelt) to understand why they were serving cicada-infused Malort. Sure enough, they got me again. Garlic Butterlört has arrived. In the brewery’s promotional copy, it’s described as “bringing big ‘better ingredients, questionable decisions’ energy. Rich, buttery goodness meets roasted garlic and herbs, with that unmistakable bitter kick that says, ‘maybe I do want another slice or just literally anything to get this taste out of my mouth.’ “It’s smooth. It’s garlicky. It’s bold. And yes—it’s the ultimate pizza crust dipper. You’ve had the garlic butter cup... but it's time to grow up little one. Garlic Butterlört is here, and it didn’t come to play. Don't ask for the parm rim.” Obviously, there’s a lot more to talk about when it comes to Noon Whistle after ten years of business, serving both the Naperville and Lombard communities. For this episode, I’m back at Noon Whistle with my spirit animal, Marketing Director Joey Giardiniera, to talk about Noon Whistle’s latest alcoholic chimera and all the other things, specifically: -Noon Whistle's unique beer offerings, including the new collab with the Morton Arboretum. -Connecting with younger demographics as so much of the talk lately is on how 20-somethings aren’t drinking like their elders once did. -Lower ABV: Is it the new battleground? -The amazing food at Noon Whistle, specifically their pizzas. -Events at Noon Whistle: Should I host a music trivia night? ## Looking to transform your home, office, or business into a smart, seamlessly connected space?

When it comes to biodiversity, you have probably heard of the importance of diverse species and ecosystems. But there is one more layer underlying our natural systems… genetic diversity. To kick off the season, Brit gets back in touch with her former mentor, Dr. Sean Hoban, Tree Conservation Biologist at The Morton Arboretum in Chicago, USA. And we hear from Dr. Laura Bertola, Research Associate for the National Centre for Biological Sciences in India, about the importance of genetic diversity in big cats. You can also watch the documentary that filmmaker Luca Cueni produced when he was part of the Leo Foundation in March 2022, here.

Oak trees are familiar and beloved by people worldwide. Not only are they embedded in our mythology as humans, but they have also fed us, housed us, lined our wine barrels, and kept us warm. So, how have they evolved over generations spanning millions of years, and how will they shape the forests of the future? Dr. Andrew L. Hipp, a naturalist and leading plant researcher, joins us to share his insights… As the Director of the Herbarium and Senior Scientist in Plant Systematics at The Morton Arboretum, Dr. Hipp utilizes molecular systematics, genomics, community ecology, and herbarium study to address various questions surrounding ecological restoration and community ecology.  From oaks and sedges to the use of phylogenetic and trait diversity, Dr. Hipp's passion for the outdoors is contagious. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply curious about the science behind our ecosystems, his insights promise to offer a fascinating look into the world of plantlife.  Hit play to learn about: How oaks have developed and maintained diversity over time.  The ways in which evolutionary history and ecology interact with each other.  Fascinating facts about tree roots.

In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Andrew L. Hipp, the Director of the Herbarium and Senior Scientist in Plant Systematics at The Morton Arboretum. With a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dr. Hipp got into plant work as a way to work outdoors. Now, more than 20 years later, he has a lab that focuses on various aspects of plant biodiversity – with a strong focus on phylogenetics. Using molecular systematics, genomics, community ecology, and herbarium study, the Arboretum's Hipp Lab's current research, which includes oaks, sedges, and the use of phylogenetic and trait diversity, is not just theoretical. It is informing practical questions in ecological restoration and community ecology, making a tangible impact on the world we live in… Listen in to find out:  The history of oak tree development and diversity.  How oaks are most typically used.  Where evolutionary history and ecology intersect.  A common misconception about tree roots.  To follow along with Dr. Hipp's work at the Arboretum's Hipp Lab, click here now.

In this episode, we discuss the biology and the individual behavior of trees with Dr. Chuck Cannon, a Senior Scientist in Ecological Evolution at The Morton Arboretum. As an expert in forest evolution, wildlife, and conservation, Dr. Cannon brings a unique set of skills and knowledge to the Arboretum. Currently, his work focuses on two primary research questions:  How can we ensure that tree species maintain resilience and adaptability in rapidly changing, human-dominated environments, and how do naturally occurring hybridization and genetic exchange among interfertile species contribute to this process? Can new technologies provide novel insights into tree biology, and how can the application of innovative tools and techniques overcome the challenges of studying trees?  In addition to diving into these questions, we explore:  How Dr. Cannon's work shifted from primate research to the biology of trees.  How a forest is defined, and how this environment is created.  The ways that trees can indicate environmental quality.  What we can learn from trees.  The biggest threats that trees face.  Want to learn more about Dr. Cannon and his fascinating work with trees?

Rainforests are complex ecosystems that house over half of the world's species, but they're under threat from deforestation and climate change, and gathering data about the shifts in populations is difficult and unreliable. But AI could help.

Trees and wetlands sequester carbon, suck up storm water, provide relief from extreme heat and help purify the air. A recent IPCC report found that the restoration of both are important in responding to climate change. Ahead of Arbor Day, we learn about efforts in the Chicago area to create more wetlands, plant more oak trees and create tree canopy in areas that have low canopy coverage. GUEST: Lydia Scott, director Chicago Region Trees Initiative, The Morton Arboretum, Paul Botts, executive director The Wetlands Initiative Karen Weigert, director of Loyola University's Baumhart Center for Social Enterprise and Responsibility, Doug Widener, executive director of the Lincoln Park Conservancy, Lauren Umek, urban ecologist and project manager for the Chicago Park District

For trees, living for hundreds or even thousands of years is akin to winning the lottery. So many things can go wrong between germination and living long enough to be considered ancient. My guest today is Dr. Chuck Cannon of The Morton Arboretum and he wanted to know what those odds really looked like. Using forest modelling, he and his colleagues now have a better idea of just how special ancient trees truly are and why they are so important at all scales from individual to species to entire ecosystems.
