Exploring Insect Senses, Experiences & Welfare with Dr. Meghan Barrett

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Meghan Barrett, Assistant Professor of Biology at Indiana University – Indianapolis, as she takes us inside the fascinating and fast-evolving world of insect welfare. Dr. Barrett’s research breaks new ground at the intersection of neuroscience, physiology, and behavior, revealing how insects sense and experience their environments—and what that means for how we ethically manage and use them. In this interdisciplinary webinar, we’ll dive into: Sensory Systems – How insect brains and bodies co-evolve with behavior and environment Welfare – What emerging science tells us about insects’ well-being and how to improve it * Thermal Physiology – How insects adapt to heat and what climate change means for their survival Whether you're a scientist, policymaker, producer, or just curious about the ethics of using insects for food, feed, and beyond—this webinar is for you.
