The fall semester introduced IU South Bend's Pop-Up University to the community and it was an outstanding success. The first Pop-Up University lecture of the spring semester will be How to survive being frozen solid and other illustrated science stories by Shahir Rizk, who will use art and personal stories to communicate scientific discoveries on how organisms use molecular machines to thrive in their environments. He will talk about fish-made shark repellents, frogs surviving the northern winters, and bears preventing muscle damage during hibernation. Rizk will also discuss how some molecules give animals extra-human senses. Please join us for this engaging discussion and enjoy a beverage with good company.
