Details:
Dr. Lee Dugatkin will explore Thomas Jefferson’s important role in early American natural history in this four-week Short Course - from his argument with the world’s leading natural historian, to his role in the first museum in the United States, his involvement in a 1792 expedition West (that would have made Lewis and Clark's journey an historical footnote) , and his obsessions with Hessian flies. Space is limited so registration is requested.
