Petri Dish | Small but mighty: Are microorganisms the next big thing in treating disease and improving health?

Wednesday, March 25  |  6 p.m.  |  Urban Growler Brewing Company

Our bodies are home to trillions of microorganisms that help digest food, support immunity, and protect us from disease. When these complex microbial communities are disrupted, the consequences can include infections, chronic inflammation, and other health challenges. This panel will explore how researchers are learning to work with microorganisms rather than against them, and what it might mean to turn some of the smallest living things on Earth into next-generation therapeutics.

Petri Dish | Nothing is forever: What will it take to clean up PFAS in our waterways?

Wednesday, April 29  |  6 p.m.  |  Urban Growler Brewing Company

So-called “forever chemicals” pose a major threat to human health as PFAS has been released into the environment causing contaminated soil, water, and air. In particular, PFAS contamination in drinking water systems has been a major concern because it has been linked to increased cancer risk and reproductive problems. This panel will explore the threat posed by PFAS and other chemicals to the water supply, what we can do to address it, and what it will take to make it happen.
