Penn Science Café: Plants on a Warming Planet
Event Speaker

Join us for an engaging, stimulating conversation, with a Q&A session following the talk.
As climate change reshapes our world, human health, food security, infrastructure, and wild ecosystems are all under threat. Increased plant adaptability and resilience is key to the health of our natural systems.
Join Doris Wagner, Corlett Wood, and Aman Husbands to hear more about the full complexity of plant responses to climate change, and learn how the work of the School of Arts and Sciences’ newly launched Plant ARC will address the critical need to engineer and select for plants that can survive, and thrive, in a rapidly changing climate
The Penn Science Café is generously funded by the Adolf and Felicia Leon Fund, which supports Penn Arts & Sciences programming and lecture series.
