Rough Sleepers Photographic Exhibit Lecture by John Gabriel Agnone  (Tuesday, Feb. 20, 7 p.m., Schoonover 145): On any given night in Portland, Oregon, nearly 1,700 people spend the night outdoors. This photographic project offers a glimpse into their world. Join John Gabriel Agnone, adjunct lecturer at Ohio University's School of Visual Communication and former senior editor of National Geographic Publications, as he discusses his time with rough sleepers and why he is compelled to share their story. And remember, the exhibit remains on display through Friday, Feb. 23.

Science Cafe: Tornadoes: Unraveling the Mysteries of One of Earth's Most Powerful Storms  (Wednesday, Feb. 21, 5-6 p.m., The Front Room Campus Coffeehouse, Baker University Center): Join Assistant Professor of Geography Jana Houser for an informal conversation where she shares some of the knowledge she gained in her 10 years studying tornadoes through the use of traditional and non-traditional radar observations. Houser will discuss a wide range of topics, including what we know about these storms, what we think we know about them, what we still don't know, and why we don't know it!
