Basic Science LIVE! It's Getting Hot in Here: Insights on a Warming World

Join us as a panel of experts on the atmospheric, microbial, and ecological consequences of climate change explore the critical aspects of this urgent topic. Our faculty will break down the ways in which global warming alters our world, from the changing environments of many ecosystems to the effects of a rising heat index to increasing extreme weather phenomena. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the pressing environmental challenges we face, and the research being done to address them.

This event is the first live version of our popular Basic Science Lights the Way series — virtual conversations on current, cutting-edge research happening at UC Berkeley. If you enjoy Basic Science LIVE! you can also sign up for our virtual events.

This event is both in-person and available online.
