This week's house dinner menu! 🥗🍽️🍴🍞🍌🥑
Plants can communicate with each other and with other organisms that interact with them. Most of these interactions are mediated by chemical information. Tapping into and manipulating this chemical information transfer presents itself as a sustainable way of controlling pests in agriculture. I will discuss recent findings on plant communication and link them to new and exciting technologies to control pests in agriculture. The discussion will include the most successful examples of applied chemical and community ecology from Kenya and Colombia and the political barriers that prevent a broader adoption of these technologies worldwide. Some insect snack samples will be served. Sign-up required!

House Dinner Menu for this week! ❤️🍽️🥗🍤🥩
Plastics such as polyethylene and polystyrene are cheap and have outstanding properties, leading to their use in a wide variety of applications ranging from commodity products to high-value fibers and coatings. However, most of these plastics are not recycled primarily due to the cost of separation. This leads to the horrific images of large amounts of single-use plastic materials ending up in landfills. Given the scale of the plastic industry, reducing their burden on the environment requires a multifaceted approach. In this short talk, I will discuss several approaches (via new innovative chemistry and processing) being taken by researchers at the Center for Sustainable Polymers to develop sustainable plastic solutions.
Why do we so often frame our anxieties about the movement of people in terms of the spread of disease? What assumptions underlie these terms and how do they relate to structures of power and knowledge that perpetuate inequalities and racism?

This past Wednesday the Flora Rose House kicked off the Fall 2019 semester with a wonderful Greek themed House Dinner! Before dinner, our Graduate Resident Fellows and Student Assistants held community meetings which provided students the opportunity to meet their neighbors and set community standards. During dinner residents had the opportunity to meet and learn more about their House Fellows. These House Fellows will contribute greatly to our resident's intellectual and social life within the House. We are so excited to see what this year has in store for these amazing Flora Rose House residents!
