Description

Join us for a tour of the galaxy to discover how research here at the University of Birmingham relates to the Star Wars universe and discover why the Force is strong with our academics . . . Dr Luisa Orsini PhD, Senior Lecturer in Biosystems and Climate Change and PhD Students Muhammad Abdullahi and Niamh Eastwood discuss how, like Han Solo, water flea Daphnia can survive being frozen and also help tell us important information about biodiversity.
