Life in plastic

April 30 @ 7:00 pm 11:30 pm EDT

Second episode of our queerky science nights with Life in plastic! (is it fantastic?) on Thursday April 30th 7PM atĀ @florabarrochesteršŸ’–Ā 

Featuring Dr. Samantha “Sami” Romanick and Dr. Anne Meyer who will feed us some plastic treats! From naughty microplastics penetrating our bodies’ most intimate barriers and catfishing our hormones, to designing marine microbes within the plastics who clean up the ocean from the inside out…. and who are the brilliant women behind all this? We heard Sami’s recycling duties once reached Burning Man, outside her fellowship with theĀ @environmentalworkinggroup. And that Anne likes feeding birds on her days off from synthetic biology as a Biology Professor at theĀ @urochester..

It will be a night full of surprises: with fantastic special guestĀ @thecondepr, bringing the Barbie on stage, to continue after the science talks with music curatrixĀ @gabyxbabyĀ for hot salsa rhythms… and a 30 minutes bachata class by your sexy hostĀ @kashmeerkalamari!Ā 

What else?! You shall find out on April 30, together with a super tasty springy cocktail/mocktails menu of Flora! The event is free as education should be!, and we’d love any donations that help supporting these nights (20%) and CURE Childhood Cancer AssociationĀ @curekidscancer_Ā (80%).Ā
