Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) presents
Talk about a Dirty Job: Be a Research Scientist! Friday, April 24th 1:30 - 2:10 PM CST

FREE

All sites will be view only!

Come face to face with Dr. John Janovec, botanist, teacher, and co-director of the Andes to Amazon Biodiversity Program, an in-depth research program currently being conducted in southeastern Peru. Dr. Janovec will share his mission and the purpose of this program along with anecdotes from the field that share the “dirt” from this dirty job. From hunting and collecting elegant and beautiful orchids to dissecting tapir poop, Dr. Janovec’s team contributes invaluable support to the efforts of conserving one of our planet’s most pristine and diverse ecosystems, the Amazon rainforest. This is a free view only event. However, if you send student questions at least one week ahead of time, Dr. Janovec can address as many questions as time allows.
Email your students questions to Pam Chamberlain (pchamberlain@brit.org ) .
