DESCRIPTION:Lister Science Chats...Live from McGill's Macdonald Campus to y
 our home!\n\nWhy Study the Polar Bear Gut Microbiome?\n\nMEGAN FRANZ\,\n	MS
 c student (Renewable Resources)\, Department of Natural Resource Sciences\
 , McGill University\n\nSea ice decline is reducing access to the polar bea
 r’s primary food source: ringed seals. Dietary shifts can have significant
  health impacts for a species. One of the impacts is alteration of the hos
 t gut microbiome\, an assemblage of microorganisms (predominantly bacteria
 ) known to carry out many important metabolic and immune system processes 
 for their host organism. Megan’s research describes and compares the compo
 sition and diversity of gut microbial communities of Southern Beaufort Sea
  and East Greenland polar bears\, based on the respective diets of these s
 ubpopulations.\n\nLEARN ABOUT:\n	Gut microbiomes\, apex predators\, dietary
  changes & how useful polar bear droppings are to scientists!\n\nSupported
  by the Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative\, the Lister Science Chat
 s connects students currently at home through live science talks with rese
 archers from McGill's Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. 
 Each chat features a Macdonald Campus graduate student giving an engaging 
 30-minute English presentation on their research\, followed by a 15-minute
  question period. Although the targeted levels for these science chats are
  Secondary 4 & Secondary 5\, anyone with a passion for science is welcome 
 to join.\n\nThe live chat will take place on ZOOM. No advance registration
  required. To attend the talk\, please visit https://www.mcgill.ca/osas/cp
 d/listerengagedscience. A link will be made available shortly before the l
 ive event. You will just need to click on the link to participate.\n\nFor 
 any questions or further information\, please contact ingrid.chiraz [at] m
