Join Gabrielle May, a Chemical Biology PhD candidate in the Roland Kersten Lab at the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy, for a guided walk exploring the stories, traditional uses, and medicinal properties of plants.

Gabrielle's research focuses on plant chemistry and its potential for developing new medicines. She brings both scientific expertise and traditional plant knowledge passed down through family and community members, drawing from Anishinaabe and European settler traditions.

The outdoor walk will focus on identifying native plants and exploring their uses in medicine and food, including connections to current research. The indoor walk will explore medicinal plants in the Conservatory, their cultural histories, and related research happening at the University of Michigan.
