Life Science Cafe: Bee ecology: A Look at Carnivorous Bees, and Flowers’ Role in Disease Transmission


                         

Bees aren’t just pollen-eaters. Join Life Science Cafe as we talk with Dr. Laura Figueroa about bee ecology beyond their role as important pollinators in Life Science Cafe’s first Spanish cafe! Live English translation provided! Registration required!

Founded in 2011 by a group of University of Massachusetts Amherst graduate students, Life Science Café invites a local science expert to have a conversation with a graduate student host about their area of expertise. The Café, which pivoted to an online format during the COVID-19 pandemic, includes multiple  audience question-and-answer sessions. The organizers’ goal is to make the science behind the research being discussed accessible to a general audience of all ages.
