Eric grimM memorial event

On Sunday, November 15th, 2020, Dr. Eric C. Grimm, loving husband, father, and world-renowned scientist, passed away suddenly at the age of 69. Eric was committed to sharing scientific research with the public. He was a brilliant lecturer and excelled at explaining complex topics in a friendly and understandable way; his lectures on climate change always drew a crowd. He was internationally known and respected for his studies of fossil pollen (palynology) and research documenting long-term changes in vegetation and climate.

On the 28th of April 2021, we come together as a global community of friends and colleagues to celebrate Eric's legacy in our personal and professional lives. From across the globe, we will connect during this open 24-hr event to share perspectives and personal stories on Eric's life, work and dedication to science.

In chronological order of time-zones, there will be four blocks of talks covering Asia & Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Americas, including short breaks to raise a glass together for Eric.

Recordings of the event are now available on the Youtube channel!!
