Penn Science Cafe - Plants on a Warming Planet

Penn Science Cafe

Join us for a special Climate Week at Penn event featuring Penn Arts & Sciences faculty from the Department of Biology. 

As climate change reshapes our world, human health, food security, infrastructure, and wild ecosystems are all under threat. Increased plant adaptability and resilience is key to the health of our natural systems.

Join Doris Wagner, Corlett Wood, and Aman Husbands to hear more about the full complexity of plant responses to climate change, and learn how the work of the School of Arts and Sciences’ newly launched Plant ARC will address the critical need to engineer and select for plants that can survive, and thrive, in a rapidly changing climate.

Monday, October 14 • 5:30 p.m.
Bodek Lounge, Houston Hall
3417 Spruce Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
