Lorna Gibson, PhD, Matoula S. Salapatas Professor of Materials Science and Engineering, MIT , will speak in the Hunnewell Building of the Arnold Arboretum, 125 Arborway, on Tuesday, May 14 from 7 – 8 on How Birds Work: Eggs.
How does an egg become an egg? Why do chickens continue to lay eggs day after day? What controls the shape of eggs? Why do eggs of different species of birds have different colors? And how strong are eggshells?
In this talk, which follows previous talks about bird flight, migration, and feathers, Lorna Gibson answers common questions about bird eggs.
