Join us next Wednesday for a fantastic program on whales!

Virtual Program: Return to the Sea: The Evolution of Cetaceans 🐋🌊

Join us Wednesday, October 16, at 6:30 pm for an engaging virtual talk on Zoom on how whales evolved from land-dwelling, wolf-sized mammals to the ocean giants we know today! The program will be led by David, a Master's student at George Mason University studying fossil whales in the Uhen Lab. He will share fascinating insights from his fossil research and stories from his summer as a whale research intern with us at Blue Ocean Society!
