Life in Plastic

Second episode of our queerky science nights with Life in plastic! (is it fantastic?) on Thursday April 30th 7PM at Flora 💖
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 the Environmental Working Group. And that Anne likes feeding birds on her days off from synthetic biology as a Biology Professor at the University of Rochester

It will be a night full of surprises: with fantastic special guest Elizabeth Conde bringing the Barbie on stage, to continue after the science talks with music curatrix DJ Gaby Baby for hot salsa rhythms… and a 30 minutes bachata class by your sexy host Azmeer !

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 Association (80%) – link in bio.

Join us with curiosity, and inquisitive minds..ready to move.. imagination.. life is your creation.. c’mon Barbie let’s go to Et al. !

THE AFTERMATH

Et al. Queerky Science Nights – ‘Life In Plastics’ was a blast! We had two insightful talks from scientists, Dr Sami Romanick and Dr Anne Meyer, who presented on microplastics and biodegradable plastics for ocean purposes.

The one and only Elizabeth Conde kicked off the night with a special drag performance and brought the vibe the whole night. Thanks to DJ Gaby Baby for bringing Latinx power to Flora. The first ever salsa night at the bar!!! Special thanks to Anna Remus for helping us with the bachata instructions.
