Mizzou's popular Saturday Morning Science events aren't your typical science lectures. Expect to be entertained, see demonstrations, learn a lot – and best of all – you'll want to come back for more.
Saturday Morning Science is free and open to the public. No science background is required, and all ages are welcome.
All events are held on campus at 10 a.m. in Room 171, Bond Life Sciences Center.
Oct. 26, 2024
Speaker: Robert Sites, professor of plant science and technology in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, and Enns Entomology Museum director
With over 7 million specimens, the Enns Entomology Museum hosts one of the two largest university-owned insect collections in the world. We'll discuss our holdings, show impressive specimens and explain some important services the museum provides. Then we'll finish with an explanation of recent and current research based on museum specimens.
The community also is invited to celebrate the museum's 150th anniversary from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 2 in the Agriculture Science Building on campus. Learn more
