We were awarded federal funding through IMLS to rehouse 10,500 songbird egg clutches from our collection — a project critical for long-term preservation. As with many other organizations, that funding was canceled this week. delmns.org/2025/04/11/preser…

Get ready to dive in! Dr. Martha Nizinski and her team are live right now as they explore the first and only marine national monument in the Atlantic Ocean! Tune in as they explore Oceanographer Canyon to study the deep-sea organisms that live there: bit.ly/4cK79hh

Have you seen our Hydroponics in Action display recently? Thanks to @corteva, our guests can learn how we grow plants using nutrient-rich water instead of soil. See the display in the Field Station of our Regional Journey Gallery! 💦 #hydroponics #agriscience

Happy International Museum Day! Did you know that #BCEENET was co-founded with curators at the @delmnh Delaware Museum of Nature & Science? So we can confidently say that museums are crucial for engaging students in the scientific process & promoting education. #IMD #MuseumDay

Excited our (@MatthewHalley & Stacy Pirro) 237 species hawk phylogeny is out. With a mix of Whole Genome Sequencing and legacy data we split Accipiter into several genera and determine the placement of several weird hawks (I also drew a ton of birds!) academic.oup.com/biolinnean/…
