The next event in the Reaseheath Public Lecture Series will explore these extraordinary life cycles, showing how some organisms clone themselves, change form, or even work collectively in ways that defy everything we think we know about life.
“Nature doesn’t always follow the rules we’re used to,” says Lis Morris, lecturer and Teaching and Learning Coach at University Centre Reaseheath.
“From corals that clone themselves to slime moulds that can think collectively, life has evolved some truly amazing ways to survive and reproduce. I’m excited to share these fascinating stories – they might just make you see the world in a completely new way.”
Lis holds a BSc (Hons) in Plant Science from Newnham College, Cambridge, and the University of Manchester, and an MPhil in Plant Pathology, with her thesis published on Phytophthora infestans.
She is a Member of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture and has expertise in plant pathology, micropropagation, plant tissue culture, sustainable intensification, precision technologies, and higher education pedagogy. She is passionate about making complex science accessible and inspiring curiosity about the natural world.
Strange Lives: The Weird and Wonderful World of Reproduction takes place on Wednesday, January 14th, from 6pm to 7pm, in person at Reaseheath College and University Centre in Nantwich, or online, and is free and open to the public.
