Urban growth\, habitat fragmentation\, and changes in natural disturbances like fire and grazing have made it harder to restore native plant diversity at scale. In this Lunchbox Talk\, learn about Jordan Argrett’s research on an underused restoration tool: native root hemiparasitic plants. These plants form symbiosis by tapping into the roots of their neighbors for nutrients. Acting as “pseudo-grazers\,” they can make big impacts on plant communities by curbing dominant species\, rebalancing the competitive landscape\, and creating space for native wildflowers to thrive. Drawing on experimental ecology\, conservation horticulture\, and restoration strategies\, Jordan’s work aims to provide southeastern conservation practitioners with practical\, scalable tools to help bring back biodiversity. \n  \nIn person and virtual registration options are available. Register here! \n\n\n\n From Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 12:00 PM\n to 1:00 PM EDT\n at Reeves Auditorium – NC Botanical Garden.

The field of medicine\, therapy\, and sports psychology is constantly progressing due to research that is conducted from teams of professionals like the ones who make up UNC-CH’s Exercise and Sport Science Department. Moreover\, with many students wishing to serve populations through the research that is gained through exercise and sport science\, it is important that they know how this research is conducted and where they can go to help contribute to this research. Many students within the Pre-Physical-Occupational Therapy club also have a desire to go and meet new people. This event being held in person would be an opportunity for any science-majoring student to go and learn about rigorous\, academic research while making new connections with other students and faculty. \nThe premise of this event would be to shed light upon the collaboration within the field of exercise and sport science and how the research conducted by faculty at UNC-CH translates into practical knowledge used to advance the fields of physical and occupational therapy. \n\n\n\n From Thursday\, April 23\, 2026 7:00 PM\n to 8:30 PM EDT\n at Woollen Gym Room 301.
