In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers: An Art + Science Conversation with Biologist Emily Meineke & Artists Robin Vuchnich & Leah Sobesy

Welcome to HMSC Connects! where we go behind the scenes of four Harvard museums to explore the connections between us, our big, beautiful world, and even what lies beyond. For this week’s episode host Jennifer Berglund delves into the collaboration behind the upcoming exhibit "In Search of Thoreau's Flowers," opening at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in May. Berglund asks Emily Meineke, Leah Sobsey, and Robin Vuchnich, the artists and scientists behind the multimedia exhibition inspired by the digitized collection of Henry David Thoreau's plant specimens from the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University.
