Biodiversity Research Centre open house

I have been working to coach a set of amazing researchers to give fascinating public talks at this upcoming event, Sept 17 at the University of British Columbia: https://biodiversity.ubc.ca/events/biodiversity-research-centre-symposium-and-open-house

Highlights will include:

- how understanding the social lives of viruses gives us new tools to fight them

- how animals have shifted to be more nocturnal in the face of scary humans

- how bringing biodiversity to agriculture can help solve the global food crisis 

- why sturgeon are eating themselves to death 

- how gut bacteria might help save polar bears from climate stress 

- what heat stress does to plants, and the global limit we shouldn't cross 

- the kingdom of life you never knew about

- and... the sex lives of guppies 

See you there!
