September Club Meeting: Why Diatoms Matter: How Diatoms Changed the Course of My Life.
Advertisement
Join us on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden to hear Brynne Bryant, daughter of long time Fort Worth Sierra Club member and outings leader Marilyn Turnage and former Aquatic Biology lecturer at California State University, as she educates us on the essential role of diatoms and tells us when she discovered diatoms, where they took her, what they are, and why they matter.
So ... Do you even know what a diatom is? I did not. Did you know that there are around 12,000 documented species of diatoms and that they constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans? If you’d like to learn about diatoms and find out why they are a key component of the earth’s biosphere and how they play a crucial role in the aquatic food system, please attend our September general meeting.

If you would like to satisfy your savory or your sweet tooth cravings, please bring a refreshment (APPETIZER or a DESSERT) to our meeting. Bring your favorite appetizer, cookie, bar or cake to share, and don't forget to bring your own non-alcoholic drink of choice. We will encourage guests to arrive early, between 6:40-6:45 PM to partake of food prior to the start of the meeting.
