Join us next week for the first Science Café of the semester. This first presentation will be given by Dr. Zach Adamz, Program Director for the Chinese Language Flagship Program in the Department of Modern Languages and founder of Komorebi Bonsai.

"The living art of bonsai is at the nexus of aesthetic form and horticultural practice. Bonsai provides unique insight into plant physiology and highlights the tenacity of trees through processes that enable their miniaturization, including pruning, defoliation, and the containerized environment. Bonsai techniques leverage plant physiology—such as hormone distribution, stress responses, and energy distribution—to create long-lived miniature trees that maintain scaled structural and aesthetic characteristics of their full-sized counterparts. Join us as we explore how bonsai transforms horticultural understanding while creating living art."
