OCEANUS SEMINAR SERIES | DAN RITTSCHOF | 22 FEB | 11:30

 

Title: Barnacle Biology

Take a short research journey with Dr. Dan and his friends. Learn about barnacles, their glue and their interactions with novel materials.  We combine evolutionary principals with comparative approaches to get an idea of how barnacles work.  We take advantage of modern medical research and fancy toys.  Barnacles are a way to gain new perspectives on how the marine world works and how marine communities are organized.  Next stop: Functional Microbiomics.
