Science Spotlight: How to Help a Scientist Find a New Species

Join Thalles P. Lavinscky Pereira, PhD., a Biodiversity Fellow in the Farrell Lab, on Saturday, Mar. 16 to learn how residents in Alaska helped him discover and describe a new species of snakeworm gnat plus learn how everyone can participate in the scientific process. Scientists estimate that there are over 7.5 million species of plants and animals that have yet to be discovered and described. In a world where extinction may outpace discovery, how can citizen scientists get involved? Regular admission rates apply for this program.
