Friday, March 18, 2022

How do archives document the Academy’s role in microscopy and the study of diatoms? Join us behind the scenes in the Academy’s Library & Archives as staff share collections that illuminate the stories behind scientific discovery.

These informal, 20-minute talks will take place at the top of each hour from 11 a.m.- 4 p.m.

Please meet outside the Library & Archives entrance, inside the Dietrich Gallery.
