One interesting science story I learned about today wad how currently an Academy team is trying to resurrect a passenger pigeon. The team will use DNA testing with the genome of other specimen. They are in the process of making a clone of the passenger pigeon with the help of band tailed pigeon and the use of parts of Academy collections.
I also learned about the use of the specimen from the Galapagos expedition in finding information about avian pox. The history of pox was studied.
