Doors open at 5:30pm and the talk begins at 6:00pm.
Distinguished Speaker: Dr. Jayme Smith
Dive into the hidden depths with Dr. Jayme Smith as she unveils the mysterious world of phytoplankton, the microscopic powerhouses at the heart of our marine ecosystems. Discover their vital role in sustaining life and the perilous impact of their dark side: harmful algal blooms (HABs) that threaten marine life and human health. In this enlightening talk, Dr. Smith will explore the increasing global occurrence of HABs, their effects on southern California’s waters, and the cutting-edge research aimed at mitigating their impact. Join us for a journey into the microscopic world, where the smallest organisms tell the ocean’s biggest stories.
