POSTPONED

In a world of changing habitats and climate, scientists are developing strategies and methods to ensure that the world does not lose the diversity of plants that are so vital to human existence.  This lecture will look at these methods, from large seed banking efforts to technologies that can be harnessed where seed banking leaves off, and will ask the question, “Can we save all species of plants for future generations?”

Dr. Valerie Pence is Director of Plant research at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and renowned expert.
