Science Pub: Trade, Borrow, or Steal: How Life Exceeds its Metabolic Potential

At Zoom

October 8, 2018 / 6:30 PM–8:00 PM

Join our fun and friendly conversation, and quench your thirst for knowledge about science and nature. No tickets or reservations required, but be sure to get to Dargan's early for a seat and to order your favorite drink and food. At Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 18 E. Ortega Street. FREE admission.

Living organisms are fundamentally constrained by their metabolisms: What if metabolisms could be changed, within an individual’s lifetime, by borrowing (or stealing!) from other species? Join Dr. Holly Moeller, Assistant Professor, Ecology, Evolution & Marine Biology at University of California, Santa Barbara as she explores how organisms from microbes to humans to trees extend their metabolisms and transform their ecological roles and evolutionary paths.
