About
Did you know that freshwater mussels can filter between 8 and 15 gallons of water per day? Or that an octopus is a type of mollusk? Join us at Mollusk Research Day to learn more about mollusks: clams, oysters, mussels, cephalopods, snails, slugs, chitons and more. Mollusk experts from the Museum and beyond are excited to offer you their pearls of wisdom about these fantastic creatures.
The NC Museum of Natural Sciences is a research-based museum with Museum staff who conduct novel research and steward our collections. Our Research Highlight Days feature these researchers and their fields of study. These events are held on the first floor of the Nature Research Center.
