SciCafe: Hungry for Parasites: Expeditionary Gastronomy Featuring Mark Siddall
The hunt for parasites and blood-sucking leeches takes Museum Curator Mark Siddall, Division of Invertebrate Zoology, to many far-off destinations where life in the field presents its own culinary challenges---and unexpected consequences. Whether gobbling guinea pigs or grubs, Dr. Siddall has mastered the art of the field gourmand. Though sea urchin gonads or seaweed custard won't be on offer, the American Museum of Natural history invites the public to join Dr. Sidall as he discusses parasites and leeches, including where to find them and much more.
Cocktails, conversation, and cutting-edge science are all on tap at SciCafe. Guests are encouraged to come with friends, meet new people, and talk science at this monthly after-hours series.
