Despite the ongoing renovations, the New England Aquarium has put together an impressive lineup of lecture speakers this Fall. We also note several North End / Waterfront neighbors are featured, including David Arnold‘s Double Exposure: Photographing Environmental Change with NEAQ President, Bud Ris on November 15th. Also, neighbor John Carlson is sponsoring the MIT Lorenz Center’s 2nd lecture on climate change at the aquarium on November 1st.
As always, all lectures are FREE and held on THURSDAYS at 7:00 p.m. in the Harborside Learning Lab located in the Ocean Center at the New England Aquarium unless otherwise noted. For descriptions of each lecture and to register, click here.
