Nature’s Library: Biodiversity in Biological Research

The stories written into the DNA of Earth’s many species can teach us how life on Earth evolved, how human beings arose, ways to improve human health and well-being, and how to preserve the planet’s biodiversity for the future.

Join us April 20-22 for a virtual edition of Whitehead Institute’s Spring Lecture Series for High School Students, Nature’s Library: Biodiversity in Biological Research. During this three day program we will explore how scientists are working to push our understanding of the natural world further, learning all we can from biodiversity and why it's more important than ever to conserve it.

The series includes virtual hands-on activities, laboratory modules and discussions with pioneering scientists.
