15th Annual UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day: Super Science Day

 

There’s so much to do and see that those attending the 15th Annual UC Davis Biodiversity Museum Day on Saturday, Feb. 21 shouldn't try to visit all 12 museums and collections within the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. time frame, but single out several.

"We recommend you decide on several museums and collections and concentrate on them," said committee chair Tabatha Yang, the Bohart Museum of Entomology's education and outreach coordinator.
