Professor Maydianne Andrade has the world’s largest captive population of black widow spiders in her lab at the University of Toronto.

Maydianne will discuss her unexpected career path, and how it all started with the puzzle of sexual cannibalism in redback spiders. Find out about the surprising link between redbacks and her work as host, cast and concept creator for nature documentaries, including one that saw her perched in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, chipping fossils out of the Burgess Shale, and another that took a tongue-in-cheek look at 'Bug Sex'.

The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
