FIRST YEAR - California Academy of Sciences

Their explorations have
resulted in 94 new species
descriptions, adding to the
family tree of life on Earth.
And joining the international community in
tackling one of the most urgent issues of our
time, the Academy participated in CoP15,
the United nations Climate Conference in
Copenhagen, where it presented research
about the impacts of climate change on
biodiversity. These diligent efforts do not
go unnoticed by the scientific community:
Academy researchers published more
than 70 papers and received at least seven
new, federal grants in 2009.
It’s been an amazing first year here at
the California Academy of Sciences. Come
join us for more adventures in Golden
Gate Park and at the frontiers
of scientific research
around the world. The
possibilities for discovery
are endless.
