The importance of chemistry in ecology, and using OCELOTS modules to demonstrate real-world ecological applications in a U.S. Chemistry course

Join us for a chat with researchers and professors to learn about the important role of chemistry in ecology: how mercury used in artisanal gold mining affects food webs in the Peruvian Amazon; how seed chemistry and size influence seed fates in a Costa Rican rainforest; and how chemical theory can be linked to real-world ecological applications in a U.S. Chemistry course. Modules and Instructor Resources available at https://cei.sonoma.edu/LFTF-chemistry. Find out who they are, how they got interested in their research, and the questions they are asking.
