 bstract:\n\n6G wireless systems are expected to offer ubiquitous connectiv
 ity in presently under-served areas\, potentially provided by satellite- a
 nd space-based internet-of-things applications. In the search for enabling
  technologies to achieve these expectations\, molecular communication is a
 n important alternative to conventional electromagnetic-based wireless com
 munication. In this talk\, we give a brief introduction to molecular commu
 nication\, and discuss how it may be used to communicate in &quot;wave-denied&quot; 
 environments\, where connectivity is desired but wireless cannot be used. 
 We also show that molecular communication can achieve surprisingly high in
 formation rates\, theoretically unlimited and practically in the gigabit-p
 er-second range\, making it a compelling technology for 6G. We finish with
  a discussion of the current state of the field and propose some experimen
 tal next steps.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nAndrew Eckford is an Associate Professo
 r in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at York
  University\, Toronto\, Ontario. His research interests include the applic
 ation of information theory to biology\, and the design of communication s
 ystems using molecular and biological techniques. His research has been co
 vered in media including The Economist\, The Wall Street Journal\, and IEE
 E Spectrum. His research received the 2015 IET Communications Innovation A
 ward\, and was a finalist for the 2014 Bell Labs Prize. He is also a co-au
 thor of the textbook Molecular Communication\, published by Cambridge Univ
