Hello from the Anthropocene: An Ant’s Eye View on Global Change
Can a tiny, brown ant from one river basin in Argentina tell us about the Anthropocene? Come and find out how a humble, local perspective can be useful to scale up to understand the Anthropocene. A term that describes the current geological epoch, a cultural zeitgeist, and a major new theme for engagement and research at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Heller will share some of her research background and emerging plans for curation.
