Lecture: Bizarre Bug Tales Part III: New Adventures in Forensic Entomology

Join Dr. Joe Keiper, curator and head of Invertebrate Zoology, for part three in his series of lectures on strange and fascinating insect behavior and the odd ways in which insects share the world with us. He discusses how the museum's Invertebrate Zoology laboratory has helped with cases of human death under mysterious or suspicious circumstances and is applying similar investigative techniques to simulated wildlife poaching cases. Keiper also explains how the museum has drawn together its forensics and conservation programs by producing a catalog of useful insects and insect growth data to support future criminal investigations. Lecture is at 7 p.m. May 14. Tickets are $7.
