🔬 Science Talk: Communication in the Deep

Sunday, November 16, 2025

🕐 1:00 – 2:30 PM (Central Time)

Join us for a fascinating Science Talk with Dr. Julia van Kessel, Associate Professor of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington.

Dr. van Kessel’s research explores how marine bacteria communicate and coordinate behavior through a process called quorum sensing. Her lab investigates how these molecular “conversations” influence growth, infection, and survival — and what rising ocean temperatures mean for marine life and human health alike.

🧫 Event Schedule:

  • 1:00 – 1:40 PM — Science Talk in the Koch Immersive Theater
  • 1:40 – 2:00 PM — Q&A Session with Dr. van Kessel
  • 2:00 – 2:30 PM — Guided Tour of Oceans: Journey Beneath

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with a leading scientist and explore the intersection of microbiology, marine ecology, and climate change.

🎟️ Free with Museum admission | No reservations required.
