Botany in Action: Stories from the Field
Discover the fascinating world of plant science with Phipps’ 2026 Botany in Action Fellows!
From the heart of Central American jungles, to the frosty northern reaches of the Alaskan Denali region, to our own Pennsylvania backgrounds, Phipps’ Botany in Action fellows are seeking answers to some of the most pressing plant conservation issues of the day. The Fellows, Ph.D. students from across the country, will all be joining us this Saturday only for a special program, where each of them will share exciting discoveries from their research in lively five-minute lightning talks. So if you are ready to travel to Colombia, Panama, Belize, Alaska, and back home to PA, all from the comfort of Phipps, come join us to hear stories from the field!
Plus, your ticket includes access to Summer Flower Show: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and our exciting Tropical Forest Panama Festival! Phipps members and children under two are free.
