DESCRIPTION:This Forum uses the theme of ‘transbiology’ to draw connec
 tions between different ways of reproducing life – in plants\, in humans
 \, and in art – and to ask questions about how knowledge of genetics and
  heredity have changed over time.\n\n‘Transbiology’ refers to all the 
 ways cell biology interacts with external forces\, and in particular how p
 rocesses such as transposition complicate – or ‘queer’ – our under
 standings of biological relations\, causality and complexity.\n\nTwo inter
 disciplinary conversations – on both transposition and the wider themes 
 of ‘quer(y)ing reproduction’ and ‘transbiology’ – bring together
  researchers from genetics\, plant sciences\, sociology and history of sci
 ence to consider how McClintock’s revolutionary idea has resonances that
  go beyond botany.\n\nThe event concludes with a private preview screening
  of the 10-minute graphic animation Transpositions. Using both figurative
  and abstract imagery\, the film explores the transformation of ideas abou
 t reproduction and inheritance over the course of the twentieth century\, 
 using Barbara McClintock’s discovery of transposition as a centrepiece t
 o introduce the idea of ‘transbiology’. The screening is followed by a
  panel discussion with the creative and academic team behind the film\, an
 d then a drinks reception.\n\n*To find out more and register visit \nhttps
