LIFE BEYOND THE LABS:  A Night at the Museum

On September 30th, as part of our "Lively Life Sciences" initiative, HILS students, faculty, and staff came together in the Museum of Comparative Zoology (MCZ) courtyard to celebrate two scientific milestones: the publication of Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species and the founding of the Museum of Comparative Zoology by one of Darwin's archnemeses, Louis Agassiz. Although the museum was founded with the purpose of collecting evidence to disprove Darwin's theories, the MCZ quickly evolved into a leading center of research for reconstructing the Tree of Life and the biological processes that underlie it, and serves as important resource for biologists the world over. 

Students from the department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology showed other biology students from departments such as Chemical Biology, Molecular and Cell Biology, Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Systems Biology and Neuroscience around the fascinating places where they work.  See more
