6 and 7, and participants can sign up for one or both days. On Friday, April 6, students will shadow museum staff for 'a day in the life' experience at NHMLA, La Brea Tar Pits or the Invertebrate Paleontology warehouse in Carson. Saturday April 7 will be a
day of speakers, discussions, and Q&A at NHMLA all about navigating career and grad school paths.
