Join us for Sac Science Distilled- You’ll hear short, idea-centered talks from local experts in the sciences. After the talk, we’ll have a lively discussion that brings science into context for everyday life.
Our speakers this month will be Dr. David Coil (UC Davis Microbiology) and Julia DesMarines (Chabot Space and Science Center).
Dr. Coil’s research spans many projects in Dr. Jonathan Eisen’s lab at Davis, including studying how microbes compete in space compared to on earth. He also created a game to learn about the microbes in human bodies, called Gut Check: The Microbiome Game.
Julia DeMarines is an Astrobiologist and science communicator. Currently she is a science instructor at the Chabot Space and Science Center. In her free time she curates and runs an occasional space outreach event called Space in your Face!
