Meet up-and-coming scientists and learn about questions at the forefront of research today in this series of short talks.
3:00–3:30 pm Let There Be Light!
Have you ever wondered why so many photos from scientific research feature glowing animals or cells? It turns out that the ability to make things glow is incredibly important for research! Join Harvard scientist Gabreille Paniccia for a glow-in-the-dark journey through the history of fluorescence and into her own research: making a glowing strain of the fly-killing “zombie” fungus Entomophthora muscae.
Recommended for ages 10 and up.
Regular museum admission rates apply.
Presented by the Harvard Museum of Natural History and Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
