Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series – Past Webinars
Webinar Series Part 1: Salk’s Year of Brain Health
January 28, 2026
In this installment of the Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series, Senior Staff Scientist, Emily Mangoogian, PhD, shared how the timing of daily habits—like sleep, eating, and exercise—interacts with our biological rhythms to influence both body and brain health. Dr. Manoogian’s work explores how lifestyle-based interventions, including time-restricted eating and digital health tools, can improve our metabolic health and prevent cognitive decline as we age.

Webinar Series Part 2: Smart Plants in a Changing World
2026年3月11日
In the second installment of the Science Can’t Wait: A Discovery Series, Lucia Strader, PhD, shared how plants sense and respond to their environments, and how these natural survival strategies may help us develop crops that thrive in a changing world. Her research combines genetics, molecular biology, and synthetic biology to better understand plant adaptability and engineer crops that can flourish under environmental stress.
