Exploring with Scientists: Birds

Elizeth Cinto-Mejía sits outdoors, looking down at a banded bird she's holding. Text overlay reads Exploring with Scientists! Birds with Elizeth.

Join Elizeth Cinto Mejía to learn about the field of ornithology! Grow your knowledge of birds and find out about how noise pollution can impact their populations.

Elizeth will talk about how she got started doing science and how you can explore areas of science that you find interesting. She’ll also talk about what it’s like to be in the field, collecting and analyzing data!

Ready…set…explore!

Choose from three program options: asynchronous (no fee), hybrid (program fee), or synchronous (program fee).

For hybrid or synchronous live programs, schedule your webinar and review what to expect during the program.

After your program, download section quizzes to review concepts with students.
