How do plants deal with too much salt?
From the world's driest desert and tropical coastlines to your own neighborhood, plants get exposed to more salt than they’d like.
Some plants have developed unique adaptations to handle extra salt, including a shrub that sweats!
Join Harvard scientist Melissa Mai as she explains how multiple branches of science come together to help unearth this shrub’s secrets.
20-minute talk followed by 10-minute Q&A session.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
