Plants, Pollinators and Peering in a microscope

Climate change is making many plant species shift their distribution, but some species move faster than others. How does fire and a species' ability to reproduce with fire affect how fast they move?

The loss of pollinators is proposed to be a major problem for plants shifting their ranges to escape climate change. However, things may not be as straightforward as we thought: some plants may have unexpected tools to ensure reproductive success.

From single molecules to entire organs, microscopy reveals the hidden world within us. This talk explores cutting-edge imaging technologies that capture life’s finest details and rarest events, showing how microscopy helps us understand diseases like cancer and cystic fibrosis—because sometimes, seeing is the first step to healing.
