For the second installment in our MAD Monday Fall 2022 series, we invite you to take a closer look at nature under the microscope. Insights from a scientist, a chef, and a teacher entice us to explore the hidden phenomena that lie beneath our everyday consciousness. How does an early childhood immersion in the outdoors help us better assess risk and manage challenges? How can ants and their microbial partners transform our foods in the present and provide the potential to expand what we eat in the future? Drawing on lessons from the natural world, this program will tap into a deep sense of curiosity and wonder that connects us back to our own humanity.T﻿he ticket price of DKK 180 includes a drink and a snack after the talk.Our SpeakersDavid Zilber is a professional chef, fermenter, photographer, and author who has worked in some of the world&#x27;s top kitchens, served as director of the Fermentation Lab at restaurant noma, and authored the New York Times bestseller The Noma Guide to Fermentation.
