Shake off the winter blues and release your inner scientist! This popular annual event offers the chance to interact with professional scientists and amateur collectors, while also trying your hand at simple science explorations. Meet Harvard scientists who study how our brains learn and how plants behave, and look closely at what DNA tells us about animals! See spectacular shells from around the world and even bring one home. Experiment with sound made from rocks or seen in water. Look closely at insect metamorphosis. This event has something for everyone and is appropriate for children and adults of all ages.
