Hugs and Drugs from Sea Slugs
Patrick J. Krug / Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences
California State University, Los Angeles

Enjoy colorful images of sea slugs, the ocean's most vivacious creatures both in appearance and in their innovative sex lives. We will discuss how their beauty may lead to potential cancer treatments, and whether it's better to act like a boy or a girl (or both) during group sex on the sea floor.
Patrick J. Krug got his Ph.D. in marine biology from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and has been a professor at Cal State L.A. for 10 years. He is a frequent contributor to the Madeleine Brand radio show on KPCC, and studies sea slugs to better understand how new species form and adapt in the ocean.
