Learn all about chili peppers at the next Wednesday Night at the Lab, held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on September 8th, in Room 1111 (the auditorium) at 425 Henry Mall (the Genetics-Biotechnology Center Building).
David J. Baumler Ph.D, an avid chili pepper enthusiast, will provide an overview of the evolutionary and historical science behind these remarkable plants during his presentation.
According to Baumler, “Chili pepper plants are grown on almost every continent on Earth and have evolved to range in color, shape, size, sweetness, and heat level.”
Baumler will guide you through a descriptive photo journey of his personal collection of over 70 varieties, including some of the most ancestral and hottest in the world.
