Biomineralogy (SHELLS) with Robert Ulrich
Bones. Shells. Reefs. Teeth. Biomineralogy. The wonderful UCLA geochemist Rob Ulrich answers a giant pile of questions such as: How do crystalline structures materialize out of thin air and water? How do squishy animals make such hard shells? What\u2019s the difference between a shell and an exoskeleton? What\u2019s the noise you hear when you listen to a seashell? What\u2019s up with ocean acidification? How do you keep a fiddle leaf tree alive? How do you meet new friends without battling LA traffic? Start by becoming virtual BFFs with this -ologist, who is shella cool...\xa0\n\nAlso MAY 18th, 5pm Pacific. WARD'S DOING A VIRTUAL LIVE SHOW.
