Most organisms on Earth have neither eyes nor ears--and
must decide to run, eat, or mate with the thing next to
them based on chemical cues. Just as chemical biologists
discovered treatments for diseases by understanding cell
signaling, chemical ecologists can provide new options
for curing environmental collapse by understanding
these chemically-mediated interactions in nature. The
presentation will focus on how understanding, translating,
and using this chemical cross-talk among marine
species can provide new and powerful options for curing
environmental collapse in marine systems.
