Join us Tuesday Dec 14, 1 - 2 pm as the Michener Art Museum hosts this climate, science & art event.

Register for this talk and discussion in link above. I will be sharing the art response with docent, Karen Leibman as we look at my installation Interdependence in response to Dr. Langston’s presentation.

From birds to biology, how is global climate change effecting the research of local scientists? Join us for a special collaboration with Delaware Valley University as professors present on the impacts climate change is bringing to their respective areas of research. Following the presentation, a museum docent will highlight select works from the current exhibition Rising Tides: Contemporary Art and the Ecology of Water. It all caps off with questions and conversation with our presenters.

Dr. Melissa Langston joined the Delaware Valley University faculty in 2010. At DelVal, she teaches general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and marine chemistry lectures and laboratories. She also mentors students enrolled in the Student Research course. In each of her courses, Dr. Langston works to make chemistry tangible to her students by showing them how chemistry affects their everyday lives. Her research interests focus on the detection and quantification environmental endocrine disruptors and chemical education. Dr. Langston has presented her research at meetings of the American Chemical Society and internationally.
