Fellows members at the Alliance Circle, Curator's Circle, Director's Circle, and Sponsor's Circle levels are invited to enjoy lunch with an NHMLAC curator at our winter Alliance Circle Luncheon.

Be among the first to learn about museum initiatives for 2020 and beyond, then meet Dr. William Ludt, NHM's newly hired Curator of Ichthyology. Dr. Ludt will discuss how our understanding of fish evolutionary history is rapidly changing, and how his research has helped reveal that some of the most iconic freshwater sport fishes in the U.S. are actually related to saltwater fishes found off the California coast. He will also discuss his ongoing and future research projects, including his plans to modernize NHM’s ichthyology collection while honoring the history and methods of his predecessors.

To RSVP, contact the Fellows Office at 213.763.3253 or at fellows@nhm.org no later than December 3, 2019.
