MAD Monday | Nature Under the Microscope
What ants, fermentation, and forest kindergartens can teach us about ourselves
For the second installment in the MAD Monday Fall 2022 series, MAD invite you to take a closer look at the hidden phenomena that lie beneath our everyday consciousness. How does an early childhood immersion in the outdoors help us better assess risk and manage challenges? How can ants and their microbial partners transform our foods in the present and provide the potential to expand what we eat in the future? Drawing on lessons from the natural world, this program will tap into a deep sense of curiosity and wonder that connects us back to our own humanity.
The ticket price includes a drink and a snack after the talk.
