Biology mural installation

The Augustana College Biology Department invites campus nature and science lovers to a collaborative mural event featuring local beetle diversity.

The event begins at 1 p.m. on March 14 at Hanson Hall of Science. The mural will be installed by Augustana students and faculty on the building's third floor.

The mural, which features beetles collected at the local field station by Augustana students, was designed by PlantBot Genetics co-founders Wendy DesChene and Jeff Schmuki. The artists' work combines activism, research and social space to foster discussion and generate action in the area of ecological awareness.
