Fort Hays State University’s next Science Café will be held on Monday, April 29.
This month’s presentation, “Endogenous retroviruses: Hidden hitchhikers and how they spread,”” is sponsored by FHSU’s Science and Mathematics Education Institute (SMEI). The event begins at 7 p.m. at The Venue in Thirsty’s Brew Pub & Grill, 2704 Vine.
Dr. Eric Gillock, professor of biological sciences at FHSU, will discuss how endogenous retroviruses are genetic parasites found within the genomes of most eukaryotic cells. Like some unwanted house guests, they show up uninvited and never leave.
Science Café presentations are free and open to the public. Questions can be directed to Cari Rohleder at [email protected] or 785-628-4743 or by visiting:
