Hi everyone!
Our new Wednesday Night Lite
lecture series began this week! There
are four talks scheduled on topics regarding biology, earth science, and
conservation, starting at 7pm – and all are completely free to attend! All of these talks will be given by experts
in their field. Our guests are all eager
to share knowledge of their fields with members of the community, so everyone
interested in learning about these fascinating topics are welcome to come attend. Light refreshments will be provided before
and during each talk.
This week, the talk was given by
our executive director, Dr. John Tanacredi.
We watched the preview of “Alien Crabs,” a Nat Geo Wild show on
horseshoe crabs. The show covered their
485 million year history, their biology, the important use of horseshoe crabs
in the medical field, and the current research and conservation efforts that
has been taken on to help recover the dwindling horseshoe crab populations.
The dates for our next three
talks are below. All will take place on
Wednesday nights at 7pm. Reserving a seat is highly recommended, but if you
find yourself free one of these dates and have not reserved a spot please don’t
hesitate to come! All are welcome.
If you would like to attend one of our public lectures simply give us a call at (516)-627-9400 ext.10 or fill out a request form byvisiting our website at www.smli.org
Have a wonderful weekend!
