Lecture - How Plants Deal with Environmental Stress
Anna Davidson, host of WISE and LASER, will be speaking about her study of "How Plants Deal with Environmental Stress", and how her education and research dovetailed into her work as a "bio-artist". This lecture will be held at the Mary L. Stephens Davis Branch Library, 315 East 14th Street, Davis, CA 95616 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm.
The "Nature and You" series focuses on nature (including the earth-sciences, the environment and conservation, clean water, climate change, etc.). Piggy-backing on the nationally acclaimed STEM program, which encourages young people -- especially young women -- to enter into the educational fields of science, technology, engineering and math, the lecture series this year features female speakers: strong models of women in the scientific and academic fields.
Each speaker talks about their own work, how they entered into their field, and how their work makes a positive impact on our understanding of our planet around us. Although some of the subject matter may sound very "technical", all lectures are provided in an easy-to-understand format, and time will be allowed for questions and answers after each talk. Families, seniors, youth groups and women's group are all invited to attend.
More lectures are also slated throughout the year. There is no admission fee, so R.S.V.P.'s are recommended although walk-ins are welcome.
