Recent and seastar declines led to losses along parts of North America’s west coast. But B.C.'s massive coastline and lack of comprehensive monitoring program made it difficult to assess the impacts here. Until now. 1/2

That's a wrap on another successful season of Café Scientifique!

Over the last six months, we've learned about superconductivity, cellular aging, the secret life of galaxies, quantum computing, microbes, and Snowball Earth.

We'll be back next fall! ow.ly/GfV550ReEbJ
