Ecology and evolution of microbial networks and symbiosis

Credit: Victor Caldas

 

Microbial networks support much of life on Earth.

My research focuses on identifying where these communities live and interact with other forms of life including plants, animals, and other organisms.

  • Nearly all plants form symbiotic networks with microbes on their roots.

We were always taught that art creates problems and design solves them. Is that an overly limiting way to think of our practice? Are we closing ourselves off to interesting opportunities by not embracing the role of troublemakers?

 

Speakers include Mark Novo, Sofia Pazari, Sandra Cami, Kevin Matsuya, Chase Nevins, Ida Kester, Helen Gates and more.
