Delightful NightLife news, delivered weekly.
Explore the nocturnal side of the Academy and see what makes the museum at night different.
They live anywhere and everywhere there’s water, they're invisible to the naked eye, and they're essential to life on Earth: They're diatoms!
Sometimes called “floating solar panels” and “nature’s glass houses,” diatoms are likely the most under-appreciated (and strikingly beautiful) organisms responsible for the air we breathe. Take a tour through the Academy’s world-renowned diatom collection, get a closeup look at these microscopic jewels, and learn how researchers are studying phytoplankton in Antarctica through community science.
NightSchool is live on the first & third Thursdays of every month.
All NightSchool virtual programming is intended for audiences 21+.
