<h2>Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon</h2>
<p><img align="right" src="https://seltmann.github.io/begoniasociety/images/IreneMoonWeb.jpg" width="400"></p>
<p>Since 1997, Scientifically Speaking with Irene Moon has been
presenting The Lectography: musical lectures about insects and other
arthropods in an attempt to elevate Entomology (the study of insects) as
a rock genre. About 30 different lectures have been performed on over
500 occasions. This includes tours of Europe, Australia, and live radio
broadcasts dealing with entomological topics on WFMU in New York and
other radio stations.</p>
<p>Irene Moon (a.k.a Katja C. Seltmann, PhD) is the Director of the
Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration at the
University of California Santa Barbara, and a researcher for ten plus
years in Entomology. She brings the aesthetics from the entomology
laboratory in front of alternative audiences (principally art galleries
and music venues), in the form of an absurd, however truly factual
presentations about insects. Playing upon many of our deep fears and
stereotypes about insects, she reconfigures them exposing the factual
roots (and misinterpretation) of these myths. Performance and lecture
are a means of connecting the public to entomology and increasing
awareness of the art and creativity intrinsic to the scientific process.
The present power point presentation is a New Wave lecture on
cockroaches titled “You, the Charmer.” Other recent lectures include
“The Social Hour,” an introduction to insect sociality and its
comparison to human etiquette at social high society social functions,
“Their Stinging Hairs,” a big band and torch song presentation about
irritating hairs of certain moth larvae and “I’ll Be Seeing You,
Dreadful creature,” a reenactment of blood-feeding moths in Asia that
are often pests of zoo bovines.</p>
<p>Although arguably the Lectography is primarily artistic in nature,
the presentations have a strong educational impact upon the unknowing
students. The Moon audience generally consists of members in the art
community, experimental radio listeners, and frequenters of the late
night music clubs. This audience, generally mid-20s to 40, tends to be
very surprised and receptive of the educational opportunity they are
given. Elemental entomology is taught through humor and music, speaking
in a colorful and vibrant visual language that holds the interest of
this fast-minded generation of music videos and wireless Internet. Often
the person walks away with a greater understanding of insect diversity
and complexity, combating the common misconception that the only good
bug is a dead one. Besides concrete appreciation for the individual
organisms in the presentation, it is a primary focus to highlight the
dedication and creativity of individual Entomologists whom are great
contributors in the field. <br /> <br /></p>
