CaféSci Boston: Time in Time Again: Reconstructing the Geologic Past through Ancient Proteins 12/15
Check out this FREE event from CaféSci Boston taking place on Tuesday, December 15, from 7-8PM
We conclude our fall Rock the Café series with a talk about reconstructing the deep past by looking at ancient genes, with Dr. Betül Kacar of Harvard University. When accessing our planet’s deep past, we have two main datasets to draw upon in reconstructing major transitions in the biosphere: the rock record (i.e., fossils) and the existing biodiversity (i.e., genetic sequences). In this talk, Dr. Kacar will explore a third methodology —one that allows us to reconstruct ancient genes
