Each month, Professor Jared Shaw with the UC Davis Department of Chemistry hosts the Davis Science Café, featuring scientists who are studying some of today’s cutting edge topics. This month’s guest is Professor Rick Karban from the Department of Entomology and Nematology at UC Davis, who works to understand how sagebrush uses volatile cues in times of distress to communicate to other sagebrush plants. Invite a friend, and get here early to grab a seat at the G Street Wunderbar. Let’s drink to science!
