March Community Meeting - All are welcome! Thursday, March 6, 2025 at 7 pm, featuring Dr. Allison Shultz, speaking on “Flashy Feathers to Microscopic Mechanisms: How and Why Birds are Colorful” Join Associate Curator of Ornithology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County as she delves into the world of feathers and their colors. During her talk, she will discuss how different forces have shaped the multitude of colors and patterns that we observe today (including some that humans can't see!) and describe some of her current work on the mechanisms underlying the great diversity of colors in birds. She will end her talk with an example of how environmental pollution is impacting bird feathers.
Dr. Allison Shultz is Associate Curator of the Ornithology Department at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. With her research, she seeks to understand the evolution of bird diversity, focusing on two major areas: how birds are responding to human-caused environmental changes, and how and why bird colors evolve. Dr. Shultz received her PhD from Harvard University, MS from San Diego State University, and BA from the University of California, Berkeley. In addition to her research, Dr. Schultz is passionate about increasing diversity, inclusion, access and equity in the sciences, and inspiring a love of nature in everyone.
