SCIENCE MATTERS

Annual Report 2017/2018 Dear Friends,

In a world where real science is increasingly called into question, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University remains dedicated to the prioritization and advancement of rigorous scientific research and education. Science matters — to our everyday lives, to our children and grandchildren and to the future of our planet. By caring for and developing our scientific collections, Academy scientists create a firm foundation for research on a host of issues affecting the natural world. Our research has relevant, real-world implications, from measuring water quality to identifying disease vectors and beyond. As we share our discoveries, we strive to help citizens, Our work is educators and policymakers alike make informed decisions about issues that impact ecosystems throughout the world. driven by a The Academy is committed to building knowledge and applying our learnings to ensure a healthy future for life on Earth. Our work is driven by a desire to provide desire to provide meaningful solutions to real-world problems in ways that create measurable impact. In this annual report, you’ll learn more about how our scientists are spearheading meaningful innovative research into watershed ecology, how we are advancing care of our collections and how our programs are enabling members of our community to solutions become deeply involved in our work. We hope you will take the time to explore our work more closely through in-person learning opportunities with our scientists, to real-world museum programming and more. problems. In addition to incredible scientific exploration, our past year brought to fruition an energetic strategic planning process. We posed essential questions about how the Academy can create a diversified slate of programs to better connect with our audiences — including those whom we’ve not yet reached — to realize our greatest value for the future. We sought ways to integrate the perspectives of those we serve by examining our role as a broker for difficult conversations around complex scientific issues. Further, we explored how we can engage locally, regionally and internationally to help people understand the complexity of the natural world and inspire them to become environmental stewards. We are excited to share our plan with you, our most loyal supporters, later in the spring.

We thank you for enabling us to continue to deliver robust, science-based knowledge in our community and well beyond.

Regards,

Scott Cooper Peter A. Austen President and CEO Chair, Board of Trustees 4 5

SCIENCE LEARNING IS OUR FUTURE

At the Academy of Natural Sciences, we strive to share our love of the natural world with our community, seeking to engage and enlighten through fun, interactive programs and exhibits focused on the natural world. 4 5

WINS Receives Highest Honor Last summer, WINS was thrilled to receive the prestigious “Seeing a program that Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring Program — the highest United advocates for women to go into States accolade for STEM mentoring — in recognition of its outstanding work.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING NOW

The earth is warming and climates are changing at an unprecedented rate — largely because of human activity. Because climate change has the potential to disrupt human and natural ecosystems, the Academy will continue its critical research to understand environmental conditions, processes and their impacts, as well as climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. 10 11

BIODIVERSITY SUSTAINS LIFE

Diverse ecosystems are healthy ecosystems, and measuring biodiversity is a critical means of gauging environmental health. Since its founding in 1812, the Academy has been studying the variety and distribution of living things, including their extinction, and has amassed a research collection of more than 18 million specimens. Caring for these specimens ensures that they remain a treasured resource for scientists around the world. 22 23
