Boston xSpecies Adventure Club Workshop - Water
The Laboratory at Harvard, 52 Oxford Street, Cambridge
Greater Boston, MA

Join Natalie Jeremijenko and chef Mihir Desai for an adventurous workshop introducing several of the fascinating processes/techniques of molecular gastronomy, and how these allow us to explore the complexity of the natural and biological systems. This will include a bear hunt, for very small waterbears and an introduction to the moods, characters and sometimes drunken behaviors of Daphnia, commonly known as water fleas, or, more recently as toxic avengers whose behaviors reveal hazardous compounds in water from rivers, distribution systems and production drainsfirst defenders of human health.

Liquid nitrogen and safety glasses supplied, but feel welcome to bring your own water sample to meet and greet your local waterbear, daphnia or other exotic aquatic neighbor.
