Need something fun to do this Saturday (October 15th)? Then come by the Bell Museum and hear Ph.D. candidate Anthony Auletta talk about his research on spider neurobiology, as part of the museum’s Best of “Saturday with a Scientist” Showcase!

Anthony’s display, “Spiders: Small Brains, Big Behaviors,” will be up in the main hallway of the museum from 11:30am-1:00pm, and Anthony will be there to show off some cool live arachnids and answer all of your spider questions. Then, from 1:00-1:30, he will be giving a special talk in room 175, entitled “Why I Love Spiders (and You Should Too).” We hope to see you there! This event is free, open to the public, and great for kids and adults alike.

Graduate student Anthony Auletta recently shared his love and knowledge of spiders in an episode of Brains On, a national podcast produced by MPR News and Southern California Public Radio. Brains On is a science podcast for curious kids and adults, and each episode features children co-hosts and interviews with experts across many scientific disciplines.
