Science Spotlights: An Intergenerational Game of Telephone
Advertisement
Meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research today in this series of short talks.
2:00–2:30 pm
Let’s play a game of telephone! One player whispers a message to the next. The catch? The next player hasn’t even been born yet. Over millions of years, mammals have devised strategies for playing “intergenerational telephone,” sharing messages about the environment with their developing offspring. Researchers increasingly recognize the profound impact of these messages on human health.
Join Harvard scientist Sasha Post, Graduate Student, Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, as he breaks down the strategies humans use to play, why these strategies evolved, and how we can change the game to improve public health.
Recommended for ages 10 and up. Regular museum admission rates apply. Learn more:
