Snakes, Bats, and Glowing Things: Field Genomics in the Amazon Jungle

How do scientists do disease surveillance and study biodiversity through the lens of genomics? Citizen scientist Blacki Migliozzi joined a group of jungle field researchers to find out.

Through anecdotes and stunning photography he will walk us through what it's like to work with big cats, primates, birds, bats, frogs, snakes and many other kinds of organisms. He'll also provide first-hand observations of the habitat loss endangering these ecosystems as well as the dangers scientists put themselves in when doing this important work.

Light refreshments will be served. RSVP on EventBrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/598683437277/
