The Academy is more than just a remarkable museum. This Thursday at NightLife, hear the latest on the Academy's cutting-edge biodiversity research and globe-spanning conservation efforts. Over the past year, more than a dozen whales have washed up along the Bay Area’s shores. To find out why—and what can be done about it—Academy researcher Moe Flannery conducts necropsies (or animal autopsies) to learn more about each whale. Join Moe as she shares the latest from her investigations—including parts collected from actual whales! For Western palates, eating insects seems inconceivable. But it could one day be necessary—and delicious. Hear from Academy entomologist Brian Fisher as he discusses why edible insects are the food of the future and how they are already being used to protect Madagascar's fragile forests. Get a behind-the-scenes look at a variety of biodiversity research going on throughout the Academy as undergraduate interns from our Summer Systematics Institute share their adventures, from the field to the lab.
Featuring MOM DJs (Motown on Mondays)
