An evening with Michelle Nijhuis

For the first event in its “Science, Stories and Truth” series, author Michelle Nijhuis will speak on how history, politics and humanity’s flaws complicate scientific progress—especially in environmental conservation. She’ll share stories from her book “Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in the Age of Extinction,” including activists who helped save endangered species and the scientists who shaped the modern conservation movement.—Selene San Felice
