Join Texas Science & Natural History Museum on Wednesday, November 12, for a free special program featuring author and ocean scientist Juli Berwald, who will speak on the vital—but often overlooked—world of jellyfish and coral reefs.With a Ph.D. in Ocean Science from the University of Southern California, Berwald is the author of Spineless and Life on the Rocks—the latter a finalist for the L.A. Times Book Prize. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic, Texas Monthly, Smithsonian, Nature and Science. Berwald also serves as the Embajadora de los Arrecifes in Tela, Honduras, where she co-founded the nonprofit Tela Coral to protect one of the healthiest coral reefs in the Caribbean.
In this engaging talk, Berwald will explore the hidden lives of jellyfish and coral—two of the ocean’s most foundational species—and why they often go unnoticed due to our land-focused perspective. She’ll also highlight inspiring global efforts to preserve and restore these critical marine ecosystems.
This free program includes a light reception and will be followed by a Q&A and book signing. An RSVP is required.
