More Information
Join our free informal discussion on the latest science news that affects our everyday lives.
Insects rule the world, and we are just along for the ride. We rely on them for everything from our morning coffee (pollinators) to red dye in fabric and food (scale insects) to recycling (decomposers). But two frightening trends are occurring: increased global temperatures and decreased insect populations. How are these connected? What do these trends mean for us? And what can we do to improve the situation? Join us for a live, in-person conversation or catch the live stream all about insects in decline.
