Join us in celebrating Women’s History Month as we honor the incredible contributions of women in the rich history of marine plankton research at Scripps. This Perspectives Lecture will feature two fascinating presentations highlighting the inspiration for "Mosaic Ocean," an innovative art/science installation blending traditional and cutting-edge technology essential to observing these small but incredibly important ocean dwellers. Judit Hersko will perform part of her innovative series of visual narratives, Pages from the Book of the "Unknown Explorer," transporting you to Scripps’ early days through a cleverly imagined correspondence between Dr. Easter Cupp, Scripps' first female PhD graduate, and a fictitious female explorer inspired by Hersko's research and field experience in Antarctica. Melissa Carter will then take us on a journey through nearly a century of observations from Scripps Pier, bringing us to the present day. She’ll provide an insider’s look at emerging research and observational technologies used on the Pier and explore how these innovations drive new, groundbreaking discoveries in marine plankton research. Seating is limited and lectures often sell out, so advanced registration is strongly recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m. Visit: https://aquarium.ucsd.edu/events/perspectives-lecture-series-march Birch Aquarium at Scripps on Instagram and Facebook
