Fort Hays State University’s Science Café series will continue on Monday, April 29th with a presentation titled “Endogenous retroviruses: Hidden hitchhikers and how they spread.” Sponsored by FHSU’s Science and Mathematics Education Institute (SMEI), the event will take place at The Venue in Thirsty’s Brew Pub & Grill, located at 2704 Vine.

The Science Café is open to the public and free of charge. During the event, Dr. Eric Gillock, a professor of biological sciences at FHSU, will explore the topic of endogenous retroviruses. These genetic parasites are found within the genomes of most eukaryotic cells, acting as unwanted houseguests that appear without invitation and never leave.

Any questions or inquiries about the event can be directed to Cari Rohleder at [email protected] or by phone at 785-628-4743. Additional information can also be found on the following websites: www.fhsu.edu/smei, www.x.com/FHSUScienceCafe, or www.facebook.com/FHSUScienceCafe.
