Join the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station community at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, for a talk, titled, “A Day in the Life of a Seed.”
The presenter for the fall 2025 Dessert with Discussion talk is Dr. Lauren Sullivan, an assistant professor in Michigan State University’s Department of Plant Biology and resident faculty member at Kellogg Biological Station.
In her talk, Dr. Sullivan will share:
- What seed dispersal is, and how we measure it.
- How seed dispersal changes across different grassland environments.
- What seeds are being consumed in grasslands and how might this alter the plants we see.
The talk will be offered in-person in the KBS Academic Building's auditorium, located at 3700 East Gull Lake Drive in Hickory Corners, and also will be streamed via Zoom. The talk is free and open to the public, and registration is required at bit.ly/kbs-DwD-fall2025.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and numerous area organizations will have informational booths open. Both in-person and virtual attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions following the talk. Dessert offerings will be available during the talk. A cash bar also will be available.
Dessert with Discussion is a free lecture series that connects the KBS and MSU research community with our local community. This series is made possible through generous donations to the Dessert with Discussion Fund.
