#bioPGH: Science Table Talks: Making Earth Day Every Day!
Celebrate Seasonal Science at Phipps Conservatory!
Tickets Coming Soon!
Have you ever wondered “can this be recycled?” or “does it really make a difference if I eat a few plant-based meals per week?” Sustainability at home can feel overwhelming and confusing sometimes, so join Maria and some special guest Phipps staff to try out some games that explore some easy ways to make a big impact on the planet. We can make everyday Earth Day at home!
Follow along each month as Dr. Maria Wheeler-Dubas will be stationed in the Conservatory on select Saturdays from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. to highlight the biology and science behind each of our distinctive seasons. View our upcoming Science Table Talk topics below!
