- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 03 Apr, 2025 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 03 Apr, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Join evolutionary biologist Menno Schilthuizen to explore a new dawn of natural history, practiced by community scientists in their own urban jungle. 

Imagine taking your smartphone-turned-microscope to an empty lot and discovering a rare mason bee that builds its nest in empty snail shells. Or a miniature spider that hunts ants and carries their corpses around. With a team of citizen scientists, that's exactly what Menno Schilthuizen did -- one instance in the evolutionary biologist's campaign to take natural science to the urban landscape where most of us live today. In this delightful book, The Urban Naturalist, Schilthuizen invites us to join him, to embark on a new age of discovery, venturing out as intrepid explorers of our own urban habitat -- and maybe in the process do the natural world some good. 

Copies of The Urban Naturalist will be available for purchase onsite from the MIT Press Bookstore.
