Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series with the Salk Institute

Join the Salk Institute and the Del Mar Foundation for Science Can’t Wait, a three-part webinar series exploring breakthroughs in brain health, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, agricultural solutions, and more. Each session offers exclusive access to Salk scientists whose work is shaping the future of human health and our planet.

For the first time, the Del Mar Foundation is partnering with the Salk Institute to offer a Challenge Match through June. When you give during the webinar series, your contribution will be matched 1:1, instantly doubling your support for groundbreaking research that directly affects our community and the world.

And if you make a gift of $1,000 or more to an area of greatest need, you will automatically join the Discovery Society, Salk’s donor recognition circle. Members enjoy meaningful connection with Salk scientists, exclusive invitations to events, early access to major faculty news, and more.

Webinar Series Part 2: Smart Plants in a Changing World

Date: Wednesday, March 11
Time: 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET
Where: Zoom. Link will be provided upon registration.

We invite you to join us for the second installment of the series, “Smart Plants in a Changing World,” a live conversation exploring how plants sense and respond to their environments, and how understanding these natural survival strategies can help us develop crops that thrive in a changing world.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Lucia Strader, PhD, Professor
Dr. Strader is a plant biologist and holder of the Howard H. and Maryam R. Newman Chair in Plant Biology at the Salk Institute. An expert in plant hormone biology, she studies how plants sense and integrate environmental cues to control growth and development. Her approach combines genetics, molecular biology, and synthetic biology to understand plant adaptability and engineer crops that thrive under environmental stress.

Registration coming soon.
