From Trees to Theater
This
June, join us for a pair of unique Museum programs. Next week,
discover how trees communicate in the last virtual SciCafe of
the season. Then, later in June, enjoy a night at the (science)
theater with a reading from three new plays on genetics, epigenetics,
and evolution, live at the Museum.

SciCafe:
The Wisdom of the Forest
Wednesday, June 8, at 7 pm ET
Join ecologist and New York
Times-bestselling author Suzanne Simard as she
shares her findings that trees are social beings. Trees
exchange nutrients, help one another, and communicate.
These networks, however, are under threat, leading to
species die-offs and increases in infestations. In this
month’s SciCafe, find out about some of the methods of
recovery for these tree networks, which might just be
the clue to saving forests from extinction.

A
Night at the (Science) Theater
Wednesday, June 29, at 7 pm
Join us for an exploration of art and
science through excerpts from three new plays developed
as part of the Manhattan Theatre Club's Alfred P. Sloan
Initiative: Regressions by Jen Silverman,
Asilomar by Dipika Guha, and Sparrows
of the New World by Madeleine George. Tyne
Rafaeli will be directing. After the reading, the
playwrights will be joined for a discussion, moderated
by Museum Curator Ruth Angus, with experts in
epigenetics, CRISPR, and ornithology.
This program will be held onsite and is free
for Members.
