Virtual Science Semester

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory is not able to host in-person outreach events. This year, we are challenging ourselves to host a “Virtual Science Semester” instead! During the fall 2020 semester, we will take viewers behind-the-scenes for a dynamic view of what research and education really look like at the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory (CBL). The public will discover science in actions through new and reimagined digital programs:


Science for Citizens Seminars

These seminars invite the public to discover how CBL scientists are developing new approaches to solving the environmental challenges facing Maryland, our nation, and the world. The series will retain the program features audiences have come to love, but will be held as Zoom webinars.
