In honor of marine explorer and conservationist Jacques Cousteau, join us in celebrating ocean life with museum scientists and students - plus a few special guests! Come explore museum specimens and engage in fun hands-on activities all about the marine ecosystem. All ages, free. 
Here's what to look forward to:

• Meet David Bach of Scuba Shack, who will show you scuba diving equipment and share information about Jacques Cousteau's explorations in the Midwest
• Learn about ocean-dwelling reptiles like sea turtles & sea snakes
• Meet EEB graduate student Matthew Travert, who studies the evolutionary and developmental biology of medusozoans (jellyfish & relatives)
• Make a glow-in-the-dark jellyfish with a fun activity led by museum student employees.
• Make Under the Sea art with our friends from the Spencer Museum of Art, with crayons acting as wax resist, watercolor, and salt!
• Learn about the evolution of ray-finned fishes with BI/EEB graduate student Chenchen Shen
• See & touch beautiful conch (sea snail) shells

...and much more. We can't wait to see you! Learn more on the Facebook event page.
