In the 1600’s alchemist Henning Brandt’s search for the Philosopher’s Stone led him to isolate phosphorus mirabilis, 'miraculous bearer of light', a volatile substance used in everything from an early version of match sticks to incendiary weapons in WWII. Only years after its discovery was it recognized as an element that is essential for all living things. From microscopic algae in the ocean, to crops in our agricultural fields, phosphorus fertilizes growth at the base of the food webs on which we all depend. Join biogeochemist Dr. Julia Diaz for a fascinating journey from discovery of phosphorus and the history of its many uses to the important roles it plays in marine and terrestrial systems, from phytoplankton to food. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Birch Aquarium at Scripps on Facebook / Instagram
