Dr. Allegra LeGrande, Ph.D.

In conjunction with the special exhibition Walks with Artists: The Hudson Valley and Beyond, Dr. Allegra LeGrande collaborated with Education Staff to create the Family Studio: Science projects and trained the Junior Docents to facilitate them. The workshops, entitled “Isotope Mobile” and “Landscape of Time,” encouraged participants to look at individual elements like water and trees, to uncover the history of a landscape, and to predict what it might look like in the future.

In addition to personally facilitating workshops on Saturday, November 4 and Saturday, December 2, 2017,  Dr. LeGrande gave a public lecture, entitled The Past is Prologue: How Scientists Read the Story of Water, on the history of water on Earth and how changes within its cycle will affect our society in the future, which took place on Wednesday, December 27.
