Register to join UBC’s Green College on Tuesday, November 18 for a public lecture by visiting scientist Dr. Emmanuelle Helloin on “Climate Change and Microbial Biodiversity: Possible Impacts on our Food and Gut Microbiota”, co-hosted with the Consulate General of France in Vancouver.
While climate change threatens iconic animal species, its impact on microbes—invisible to the naked eye—is just as critical, especially for our food and our health. Climate change isn’t just about rising temperatures; it’s a cascade of environmental perturbations that are disrupting ecosystems. This cascade of effects emphasizes the importance of protecting the microbial biodiversity in our environment as a way to preserve our own health.
