STEM Speaker Series: “Stopping the clock of life – diapause and its ability to suspend and preserve life” with Dr. Chi-Kuo Hu

Date: 11/15/2022

Time: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm


Location
Special Collections Seminar Room


Description

Life runs like a clock. Every milestone is set and reached on time. From embryogenesis, to birth, sexual maturation, aging, and death, the clock of life seems to only progress forward and never stops. However, nature did evolve a mechanism to pause this clock at the beginning of life, and that is diapause. In this talk, we will discuss what diapause is and how it could help us to better understand life, including the crosstalk between biological dormancy, development, and aging.
