Dear David,
Talk in Life Saves the Planet lecture series co-hosted by GBH Forum Network and Biodiversity for a Livable Climate.
Douglas Zook, in conversation with David Morimoto, will be joining us next Monday to lead us through some major moments in biosphere history and describe what we can learn from our ecological past to meet our present challenges.

David Morimoto
We are last minute arrivals to the region of the Earth where life can be found and thrives: the biosphere. The 3.8 billion year history of the Earth shows to this day that life — particularly microbial — has been the consistent major contributor to building features of the biosphere, giving us rocky landscapes, myriad ecosystems, healthy soils, oxygenated air, and the cyclic flow of key elements.
Ecologists Douglas Zook and David Morimoto examine how the biosphere is the story of connections and reciprocating systems over extraordinary long distances. Douglas will share examples from his study of global ecology and David will moderate the discussion. You may have seen Douglas and David at our Voices of Nature conference in 2018, and we are so happy to have them back with us now.
This event is the latest in the Biodiversity for a Livable Climate's lecture series Life Saves the Planet, and it will be recorded and made available online through GBH Forum Network. Read more about these guests and register for free here.
