Seasonal festivities bring together traditions, history, family and friends. To a botanist, they are also a case study of the deeply interconnected relationship between nature and culture. Join us for the 4th annual Botany of the Holidays as we travel to China and Brazil to share the botanical origins of some winter holiday traditions, and see just how important plants are to celebrations around the world.
This year's speakers include:
Terry Huang, Assistant Director, UCLA Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden
Marcel Vaz, UCLA PhD Student, Kraft Lab
Xinyi Yan, UCLA Alumna, PhD Student at UT Austin
