Exploratorium Lab & Lunch | Pier 15

Join historian Matthew Booker for an exploration of why twentieth-century Americans lost faith in local food. Using the Bay’s oyster fishery as a case study, Booker will discuss how this changed the way we think about the Bay.

Free, but an RSVP required for lunch. Email reserve@exploratorium.edu, or call 415-528-4444, and choose option 5.

Matthew Booker is a historian and author of Down By the Bay: San Francisco History Between the Tides, which traces the evolution of people who have lived along the Bay, and the ongoing role of nature in shaping history. Booker is an associate professor of history at North Carolina State University and is the Bay Observatory’s 2014 Urban Fellow.
