Plants that Heal and Managing Diabetes: Informational Sessions
Wednesday, 10 June, 2015
This week we have some interesting health research events in Sydney and Brisbane.
SYDNEY Wed 10 Jun – Inspiring Science: Powerful Plants.
Two talks from two very different researchers. How does broccoli help prevent cancer? And why do mangroves, seagrasses and salt marshes create vastly more carbon than land-dwelling forests? Dr Astha Singh explores the amazing anti-cancerous and antimicrobial properties of brassica plants such as broccoli. PhD candidate Jeffrey Kelleway discusses the potential for Australia’s vast coastal wetlands to be part of future climate change solutions.
