SCIENCE SATURDAYS

Science Saturday lectures return this winter with a focus on local sustainability and the issues shaping our shore community. For over 15 years, these talks have encouraged learning and sparked action. This season, we’re making citizen science and community participation the heart of the series.

Science Saturdays are presented live and can be attended virtually or in person when noted. Each session features interactive, hands-on presentations delivered in an informal, welcoming setting that makes science accessible, engaging, and relevant to everyday life.
