Celebrate Women’s History Month with a series of talks highlighting women scientists in New England and beyond.
Join a different scientist each Wednesday in March for a lunchtime Zoom talk. The first talk will be held Wednesday, March 3 from noon to to 1 p.m. with Katie Galletta.
The connection between monarch butterflies and milkweed is widely recognized, but monarchs are not the only insect to face the perils and protections of life among the milkweed. Join Galletta to learn about the 11 insect species that specialize in eating milkweed, and to explore findings from her summer-long research project on the interactions between monarch butterflies and the larger milkweed community. For this study, Galletta surveyed 28 different milkweed patches throughout southern New Hampshire, including two on conserved land in Peterborough.
