Science Spotlight: Sweaty Shrubs

On December 14 at 2pm meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research in this series of short talks. How do plants deal with too much salt? From the world's driest desert and tropical coastlines to one's own neighborhood, plants get exposed to more salt than they’d like. Some plants have developed unique adaptations to handle extra salt, including a shrub that sweats! Join Harvard scientist Melissa Mai as she explains how multiple branches of science come together to help unearth this shrub’s secrets.
