Experimental Musings

What insect is about as old as the dinosaurs, lives on every non-frozen continent, and might be able to tell us about how species could adapt to our planet’s changing climate? Let’s talk about those little social creatures: ants.

It's Shark Week, an entire week devoted to one of Earth's most misunderstood and magnificent animals. For Shark Week, let's talk about a much more real way to link sharks and climate change.

There’s something about nighttime that’s bugging scientists. Driving at night is a lot safer with our streetlights and we seem to love having our well-lit urban cores for last call, but light pollution is a growing concern.

The most recent dino discovery has enabled experts to better understand the evolutionary link between dinosaurs and birds. This is not your standard dinosaur bone discovery, but it certainly is head and shoulders above the rest.

The observational honeybee hive in our EcoLab is un-BEE-lievably sweet, but recently the Museum added a new spot for the native bee pollinators that’s creating a lot of buzz!
