Frédéric Chain, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Biology, UMass Lowell

Join us for a lively presentation and discussion about science.  Dr. Frédéric Chain will take us through some short activities to explore how to think about science.  We’ll explore further the following questions: Why do we need science? What is the scientific process and some misconceptions? How can we apply scientific thinking to navigate the world with the often overwhelming and conflicting information that we consume?  To close out the webinar, Dr. Chain will end with an exercise simulating the eDNA research that we are doing to monitor aquatic biodiversity in Lowell.
