Plants are essential to humans and the environment: they provide food, absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen,serve multiple ecosystem functions, and beautify landscapes. In Lessons from Plants (Harvard University Press, 2021) Beronda Montgomery, MSU Foundation Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and Microbiology & Molecular Genetics at Michigan State University invites us to appreciate our interdependence with plants and the many lessons that can be gained from a better understanding of the ways in which plants grow, adapt, and thrive. In this February 23rd conversation with Brenda Tindal, Executive Director, Harvard Museum of Science & Culture at 6 pm, she will address what plants can teach us about relating to one another, building diverse communities and being resilient.
Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture. The event is free. Advance registration required.
