About this Topic: Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our country's current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Choosing the right plants for our landscapes will not only address the biodiversity crisis but help our climate crisis as well. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, and why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.
Successful examples of recent biodiverse plantings on Rowan's campus will also be highlighted during this event
About this Speaker: Doug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 112 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 42 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include Bringing Nature Home, The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, Nature's Best Hope, a New York Times Best Seller, The Nature of Oaks, winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award. In 2021 he co-founded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari (HomegrownNationalPark.org). His awards include recognition from The Garden Writers Association, Audubon, The National Wildlife Federation, Allegheny College, Ecoforesters, The Garden Club of America and The American Horticultural Association.

Topic: Early Life Imprinting of Immune Intolerance
Date: Wednesday, November 8, 2023
Time: 2:00 - 3:15 p.m.
Location: Business Hall, Room 104
Who: Open to all
Abstract: Work in the Brown lab addresses how the immune system regulates diverse responses to commensal microbiota and pathogens in order to generate inflammation or tolerance, and the reciprocal role of the tissue microenvironment in shaping immune cell development. A window of opportunity exists during early life for establishing tolerance to the gut microbiota. Recent work from the lab defined the cell types and mechanisms that instruct peripheral regulatory T cell development and tolerance to symbiotic commensal microbes during early life. This work identified a novel lineage of peripheral antigen-presenting cells, named Thetis cells, with transcriptional homology to medullary thymic epithelial cells, highlighting parallels between mechanisms of thymic and peripheral tolerance. Ongoing work addresses the role of distinct Thetis cell and dendritic cell subsets in regulation of immune tolerance and inflammation.
