Washington’s Museum of Natural History protects and celebrates the country’s “wild side,” and an upcoming presentation will explore one of its latest projects.
The museum’s Behind the Science program includes lectures on a variety of topics. Its July installment will introduce its new Pinned Insect Digitization Conveyor. This will make it much simpler for it to catalog its extensive collection of pinned insects, and Dr. Torsten Dikow, who is an entomologist working on the project, will share his insights.
The presentation will explore how the venue has collected over 235 million insect specimens from all over the world, and it is working on digitizing their information using the Pinned Insect Digitization Conveyor. It is currently in progress with more than 325,000 butterflies, flies, beetles, and bees, and the information is being drawn from their existing data labels. This will make the data more accessible to researchers, scientists, and the general public.
Presentations and other activities give the chance to learn about a variety of topics from subject matter experts. Handouts make it possible to provide even more information to the attendees so they can continue to learn even after the function has drawn to a close. They can be prepared by Stationery printers.
This chance to get the inside scoop on how information about insects is about to become a lot more accessible is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14 at the Coralyn W. Whitney Science Education Center, beginning at 6:30 pm. Those interested are advised to register in advance to ensure they do not miss out.
