In this talk Eleanor Harris, Co-Director of the Clifton Institute and mathematical enthusiast, will share some of her favorite mathematical patterns in nature and where you too can find them. The patterns found in plants are much more interesting than animals! By learning about patterns in the plant kingdom we can better understand what problems plants are trying to solve, from how plants package their seeds to how trees share space in the forest, and just how “smart” they really are.

Eleanor Harris, Ph.D. is Co-Director of The Clifton Institute oversees all of the organization’s activities, with a focus on education and development. BA in Mathematics and Ph.D. in Quantitative and Computational Biology.
