The NC Museum of Natural Sciences is a research-based museum with Museum staff who conduct novel research and steward our collections. Our Research Highlight Days feature these researchers and their fields of study. These events are held on the first floor of the Nature Research Center and feature themed tables and presentations.
Herpetology Research Day will celebrate amphibians and reptiles by highlighting local research and conservation efforts on amphibians and reptiles. Exhibits will showcase live reptiles and amphibians native to North Carolina!
