Shaker of Science: What’s Bugging the Planet?

Thursday, April 22, 2021

5:30 PM-6:30 PM

A Shaker of Science is a pay-what-you-wish, interactive virtual happy hour where Academy scientists and staff can share their stories and adventures in a casual setting.

What can a single dead bug tell you about climate change? Not much. However, if you put the 4 million specimens in the Academy’s Entomology Collection together — and our entomologists will be, well, pretty annoyed that you took out all the specimens and glued them together — a story of climate change may begin to emerge as you identify and organize them.

Or you can save some time, grab a drink and come to this month’s A Shaker of Science to hear the story right from the Academy’s entomologists instead!
