Exploratorium Lab & Lunch | Pier 15
The Exploratorium’s Lab and Lunch is a free lunchtime series for adults that explores new work and collaborations between visiting scientists, educators, or artists and Exploratorium staff.
Spend your lunch break in the Exploratorium’s beautiful Bay Observatory gallery, get a free catered lunch, learn about new research and work-in progress, see demos, and meet visiting scientists.
There is no cost to attend the Lab and Lunch program, but an RSVP is required for lunch. Email reserve@exploratorium.edu, or call 415-528-4444, and choose option 5. If you wish to also visit the Exploratorium, you must purchase a general admission ticket.
Hundreds of whales—the world’s largest mammals—travel along the California coast each year, as do thousands of gigantic cargo ships. So perhaps it’s not surprising that multiple whales are killed each year in collisions with ships.
Join Jaime Jahncke from Point Blue Conservation Science to hear what we know about where whales go, and how we can prevent ships and whales from colliding. Plus, learn how you can help by reporting whale sightings with a smartphone app.
Jaime Jahncke, PhD, is a marine ecologist and Director of the California Current Group at Point Blue Conservation Science. Point Blue collaborates with NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuaries program to identify whale hotspots and to find ways to protect them.
Free, but an RSVP is required. Email reserve@exploratorium.edu, or call 415.528.4444, and choose option 5.
