Meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research today in this series of short talks.

How to Help a Scientist Find a New Species

Speaker: Thalles Lavinscky Pereira, Biodiversity Fellow, Farrell Lab

2:00–2:30 PM

20-minute talk followed by 10-minute Q&A session

Scientists estimate that there are over 7.5 million species of plants and animals that have yet to be discovered and described. But in a world in which extinction may outpace discovery, how can citizen scientists get involved? Join me as I share how residents in Alaska helped me discover and describe a new species of snake worm gnat and learn how you, too, can participate in the scientific process.

Regular museum admission rates apply.

Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
