Speaker: Claire Li

Graduate Student - Ryan Nett Research Lab


How would you communicate if you were rooted in place like a plant, unable to move around or speak? Over hundreds of millions of years, plants have evolved different ways to interact with the environment around them. One way is by using special chemical compounds that affect other living organisms! Join Harvard scientist Claire Li as she decodes the chemical language of plants and explores exciting ways humans can put these compounds to use.


Recommended for ages 10 and up.
