This month, Nights with the Museum hosts Eric Focht, Ph.D., from the Department of Botany and Plant Sciences at the University of California, Riverside, as he presents "California’s Avocados: From the Past, to the Present, and into the Future."

Dr. Focht will provide an overview of the biology and ecology of avocados in their native Central American and Mexican habitats, discuss their introduction to California, and highlight the advancements made by the UCR program. And yes, there will be samples!

Science, nature, history, and culture! Always different, never boring. Fascinating discussions with experts from our local communities about new research and local stories in the Main Library Community Room (3900 Mission Inn Avenue) from 6:30-9 p.m. Recommended for ages 16+.
