Save the date! Friday, May 18th, Dr. Li Liu of Stanford University will be giving a talk at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History on the UO campus, to discuss her recent research on beer brewing in late Neolithic China. Attempting to recreate a recipe from traces of beer found in archaeological sites, Liu and her students have brewed their own version of this ancient beverage. For a brief introduction to this work, you can check out Liu’s interview with NPR.

Details to come!
