- **Event Description**: Join us for a special Valentine’s Day-themed After Hours lecture with Dr. Jeff Shields, Professor at William &amp; Mary’s Batten School &amp; VIMS, who will enlighten us on the variety of weird, whacky, and wonderful ways that marine animals reproduce.

The passing on of genes is an all-consuming task in the animal world, and marine animals have fascinating ways to ensure their genetic legacy. How do stationary organisms like the barnacle mate? How do crabs find each other in the vast and dark deep sea? Are oysters really an aphrodisiac? Find out the answers to these questions and more during this engaging and humorous talk. Preserved specimens from the Batten School &amp; VIMS’ Fish Collection and Invertebrate Collection will also be on display in the Visitors Center for guests to interact with before and after the lecture. This talk is rated PG-13: parents strongly cautioned!

Registration is required.
