AMNH Presents, Meet the Scientist: Nisa Beceriklisoy

Saturday, December 2, at 2:15 pm, 3 pm, and 3:45 pm
Discovery Room

Free passes are available on the day of the program at the Discovery Room entrance on a first-come, first-served basis.

Join Curatorial Assistant Nisa Beceriklisoy to learn about a hidden gem of the Museum, the Ambrose Monell Cryo Collection, which houses a vast library of frozen tissues from bald eagles to humpback whales. Using liquid nitrogen, this highly organized cryogenic collection allows for long-term DNA (and RNA) preservation. In this era of massive species loss, conserving genetic information is of paramount importance. Children age 7 and up are invited to discover how Nisa helps preserve our tissues and keep them organized, and how other scientists contribute to and learn from our library.











When: Sat., Dec. 2, 2017 at 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Where: American Museum of Natural History
Central Park West at 79th Street
