Today, I learned about the collections of the Academy and the scientists who do research at the Academy. Many of this work involves the preparation of specimens for storage in the Academy's collection. I learned that in order to prepare skulls for storage, the scientists must use flesh-eating beetles to eat the muscle and skin off of the skulls. Then, the skulls are frozen to remove the beetles.
I also learned about video production today, and how to make a storyboard. The attached picture is of a storyboard we did of the video "Science Today: Secrets of Flight," a short three minute video about how insects and birds fly. The storyboard is of the first twenty seconds of the video.
