Hear from the author of Semiosis about her book and others that explore topics related to climate & human sustainability.

Join us for a talk by Sue Burke, author of Semiosis - a book about
 sentient plants on a distant planet - as she explains why she hoped to
 make her readers afraid of their gardens and afraid for plants in
 general. Sue will speak on how “plant blindness” affects our environment
 and what can be done to be more aware of the foundation of our
 ecosystems. Plants, like birds, connect us to the Earth.Sue Burke is an American writer and translator.
