Enjoy cocktails, cutting-edge science, and conversation at this popular after-hours series, which takes place on the first Wednesday of every month. From Darwin’s finches to dodos, island birds have inspired significant scientific theories. Thanks to the genomic revolution and increased access to islands, there’s a new age of island exploration, and the results are changing enduring ideas about island biology and its implications for life on Earth. Join Chris Filardi of the Museum’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation as he highlights the Museum’s ongoing island research, new paradigms in island biology, and their implications for science and society.
Dr. Chris Filardi is the director of Pacific Programs for the Museum’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation. His research includes studying the foraging behavior of Palm cockatoos in Papua New Guinea and working with the Wildlife Conservation Society to set up one of the first community-based wildlife reserves in the country.
