SUMMARY:May First Saturday Open House: Go Birds!
DESCRIPTION:Birdwatching requires a combination of skills: a watchful eye\, a patient demeanor\, and a working knowledge on what local birds look like\, sound like\, and where you might best find them. At this First Saturday Open House\, be an ornithologist by practicing your bird watching skills in the Wagner’s Teaching Garden. Visitors can imitate bird calls and learn tips on how to accurately identify our flying friends. This is a perfect opportunity for folks to freshen up on their ornithology knowledge in preparation for Global Big Day\, an annual celebration of birding to be held on Saturday May 9th. \nThis event is also a part of Remake Learning Days\, a national celebration of innovative experiences and opportunities for youth to develop their sense of creativity\, perseverance and curiosity. \nThe Wagner’s 100\,000+ natural history collection will also be available for self-guided exploration throughout the day. Browse ancient fossils\, glowing minerals\, and animals from around the globe. Visitors can wander at their own pace\, follow the path of one of our themed scavenger hunts\, or even fill in a coloring page with images from the Wagner’s library!

SUMMARY:Weeknights at the Wagner: Growing Old in the Jungle
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nPrimatologist Ben Finkel explores what elderhood means for chimpanzees and other animals in the wild.\nWEEKNIGHTS AT THE WAGNER\nGrowing Old in the Jungle: The Challenges of Aging for Wild Chimpanzees\nwith Dr. Ben Finkel \nIt was once thought that wild animals rarely lived long enough to experience age-related declines. However\, substantial evidence has since emerged that senescence does occur in natural populations\, and these deteriorations in vitality are nearly universal across the animal kingdom—shaping survival and reproduction in many species. During this talk\, Dr. Finkel will use chimpanzees as a window into aging in the wild. \nLike humans\, our closest living relatives are exceptionally long-lived and\, at first glance\, appear to age gracefully: maintaining body condition and social integration well into old age. Drawing on data from wild male chimpanzees at Ngogo in Kibale National Park\, Uganda\, Dr. Finkel explores growing old in the wild\, challenges of foraging\, travel\, and mating\, and whether chimpanzee’s seemingly graceful aging reflects the adoption of new strategies to compensate for these age-related changes. \nBy identifying the mechanisms that link senescence to behavior in a long-lived wild species\, this research offers a lens into how aging has evolved in natural environments and offers a comparative perspective on the evolutionary foundations of longevity\, including in humans. \nAn evening lecture series\, Weeknights at the Wagner\, invites experts into our Victorian lecture hall to speak on a range of science and history of science related subjects. Each talk includes a Q&A with the speaker. \nAbout the Speaker\nBen Finkel is a biological anthropologist and primatologist whose research focuses on the evolution of senescence and life-history theory. He is currently a Lecturer at Dartmouth College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2024\, where his dissertation examined the functional challenges of aging in wild chimpanzees at Ngogo\, Uganda. Ben’s broader research interests include foraging behavior\, dental wear\, fecal particle size\, the social function of testosterone\, and conservation psychology\, with particular attention to the media portrayal of primates.

SUMMARY:December First Saturday Open House: Mineral Mania
DESCRIPTION:Learn all about what makes different minerals special and how humans utilize them in our daily lives.\n\n\n\nUpstairs in the Wagner’s Exhibit Hall you’ll find rows of cases featuring shiny crystals\, stinky sulphur\, minerals found locally\, minerals that glow under UV light\, minerals as big as a dinner plate and those as small as a penny. \nDuring this special open house explore how people historically learned about minerals and other natural elements. Visitors can view educational lantern slides from our archives\, look at different minerals under a microscope\, and explore optical mineralogy. Visitors may also experiment with minerals from the Wagner’s teaching collection\, testing things like hardness\, luster\, color\, and cleavage to identify each mineral. We’ll also have a mineral station and children’s activity table\, featuring the metamorphic minerals of the Wissahickon. \nThere will be talks and demonstrations in our lecture hall throughout the day. Make sure to join us at 1 pm for Mineral Oddities by Karenne Snow and at 2:30 pm for a glowing demonstration of Fluorescent Minerals by Bruce Mitchell—both are longtime members of the Philadelphia Mineralogical Society. The Wagner will also have a collection of minerals for sale\, priced between $1 – $20. This is a great opportunity for those looking to start or grow their own scientific collection!

SUMMARY:Weeknights at the Wagner—A Flood of Pictures—Photography Deepens the Waters
DESCRIPTION:At this Weeknights at the Wagner talk\, Dr. Michael Leja will take us back to the formative period of this cultural transformation in the U.S.—three decades before the Civil War—when pictures began to permeate everyday life. This flood of images included illustrations in books\, pamphlets\, and newspapers; photographs on cards; prints of various kinds; posters and broadsheets; and large scale paintings for theatrical displays. In a short span of time pictures assumed important functions by supplementing\, and in some cases overshadowing\, verbal texts in conveying news and information.

SUMMARY:Westbrook Lecture—Beyond the Binaries: The New Science of Sex and Gender
DESCRIPTION:Recent executive orders in the U.S. and Supreme Court decisions in the United Kingdom have claimed a scientific consensus regarding the binary nature of sex and gender. But what does science actually show? \nKick-off your pride month celebrations with our 2025 Westbrook Lecture: Beyond the Binaries: The New Science of Sex and Gender on Thursday\, May 29th\, at 6PM. The event will be a panel style conversation led by anthropologist Mallika Sarma (University of Pennsylvania)\, with evolutionary anthropologist Agustín Fuentes (Princeton University) and biologist Nathan H. Lents (CUNY) about the nature\, origin\, and purpose of sex and gender diversity in humans and other animals. \nIn what will be a wide-ranging\, lively\, and surprising discussion\, these three prominent scientists will illuminate the past two decades of sex and gender research\, discussing the striking amount of diversity\, adaptability\, and creativity present in their approach to sexed bodies and gendered behaviors in both humans and other animals. A book signing and reception with the speakers will follow the talk. \nAdmission is free to everyone and donations are welcome to support our mission. Registration is strongly recommended to speed your entry but walk-ins are also welcome.
