Species Calendar Chit-ChatThe lecture series is already on its third session! Last weekend we invited Species Calendar author @Hua Shi to Beijing Normal University to talk about:

How to visit a zoo scientifically?

As amember of the China Zoological Society and an avid deep-travel enthusiast of zoos in many countries, Teacher Hua Shi led everyone on a "zoo tour" in anultra-professional, ultra-scientificway.

From how to observe animals'natural behaviors, to how to identify animals'unnatural behaviors。

From how toprofessionally judge whether a zoo is good or bad, to how to find zoos worth visiting, everything about visiting a zoo was covered in this fun and practical lecture.

The folks who showed up were super! extremely! enthusiastic! After the lecture they surrounded Teacher Hua to ask questions, take photos and get autographs.

But only a minority of folks could make it in person, and more of them complained to Calendar Mom that they couldn't go and wanted a livestream. There's no livestream, but there is anonline lecture, so are you coming or not?

Next Thursday (June 7) at 19:30, join Teacher Hua to visit the zoo in an ultra-scientific way!
