Dr. Deb Gauthier will show how scientists in the Multispecies Fisheries Research Group figure out complex food webs with a stomach dissection. Research manager Jenny Dreyer will give guests a behind the scenes look at the VIMS Invertebrate Collection, which houses thousands of specimens.

Tours of VIMS are designed for adults. Children must be at least 9 years old to attend. Space is limited and registration must be completed at least two days in advance.
