Mission
The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University is dedicated to advancing research, education, and public engagement in biodiversity and environmental science.
About
Research - Academy scientists conduct research around the world, collecting specimens that help them document biodiversity, trace evolution, and track environmental changes over time. Through festivals, members' night, behind the scenes tour, popular publications and outreach events (e.g., Academy town squares and conversations), these scientists share their discoveries, enabling their colleagues, visitors, and members to gain further insight into life on earth and how to sustain it in the future. Academy scientists continue to produce scientific publications while cultivating our collections and traveling outside the museum for research on dozens of field trips and expeditions. The Academy & Drexel University's biodiversity, earth & environmental science (BEES) program has grown with many new projects on the horizon as we continue to be the epicenter of discovery. From digitization of the collections, to looking for chemical clues to biodiversity, to understanding environmental change in wetlands and watersheds, the scientists are leading researchers in natural sciences.
