Bay Area Science Events

For more than 50 years, marine biologist John Pearse has been donning rubber boots or a wetsuit and leading fellow researchers, students, and citizen scientists in an intimate and long-term study of tide pools, sandy beaches, and kelp forests in California. Like others before him, including famed marine biologist Ed “Doc” Ricketts, Dr. Pearse has devoted his life and career to studying marine invertebrates in their natural environment, with the aim of understanding how individual organisms fit into complex communities and how those communities have changed over time.

Come join John and Vicki for a public discussion of the natural history of coastal California as we kick off our weekend symposium about Ed Ricketts and his interest in the ecological communities of San Francisco Bay.

Free but an RSVP is required. Email reserve@exploratorium.edu or call 415.528.4444 and choose option 5.
