The next Go York lecture at York St John University will be hosted by the University’s Deputy Vice Chancellor, Professor Alyson Tobin on the same day.
Her lecture, Seeing the invisible: understanding the physiology of plant cells, will demonstrate how our understanding of the workings of plants and plant cells has progressed through advances in technology from microscopy through to genetic modification.
The lecture will take place in De Grey Lecture Theatre on Thursday at 6.30pm, with an arrival reception from 5.45pm.
The lecture is free and open to all members of the local community.
