Presenter: Bob Literman, Iowa State University Graduate Student. In most animals whether you’re a boy or a girl is determined by your parents’ genetics. In some exceptional creatures, however, environmental conditions – even something as simple as temperature – can determine the sex. Join us to explore the potential origins of animals with non-genetic sex determination as well as the implications for their future survival. For more information, visit www.sciowa.org/cafesci.
