How to Help a Scientist Find a New Species

Speaker: Thalles P. Lavinscky Pereira, PhD. Farrell Lab

Scientists estimate that there are over 7.5 million species of plants and animals that have yet to be discovered and described. But in a world where extinction may outpace discovery, how can citizen scientists get involved? Join me as I share how residents in Alaska helped me discover and describe a new species of snakeworm gnat and learn how you, too, can participate in the scientific process.

Harvard First-Year Earth Compassion Retreat

We're excited to reach out to you on behalf of the Harvard First-Year Experience Office with an invitation to apply for the Harvard First-Year Earth Compassion Retreat, a free, two-night trip to the stunning Harvard Forest. From March 15th to March 17th (the last weekend of spring break), we will stay at the Harvard Forest Retreat Center and engage in meaningfully curated compassion exercises like cross-cultural conversation, meditation, and nature immersion.

We will only be accepting 30 students (20 First-Years, 10 sophomores through seniors) on this retreat, so we highly encourage those who are interested to apply as soon as possible.
