Science Spotlights

Meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research today on Saturday, May 13. Learn how Sophie Everbach investigates tree “muscle,” a special kind of wood that allows trees to keep their bodies strong as they forage for light. Join Carlos Rivera-Lopez to discover how some animals can regenerate entire parts of their body if they lose them—even a brand new head with a mouth and a brain. Each Science Spotlight in the series will include several short research talks. This program is presented by Harvard Museum of Natural History and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
