Every other month, get together with our Living Collections Keepers to meet new members of our live animal family and learn how they connect hearts and minds to the science that happens at NHMLAC.

Join us on Thursday, September 16, as Forest Urban, Manager of Invertebrate Living Collections, will give us a glimpse inside the Insectary. Make sure to get your questions ready!
