SLU + “Blue” 🐋

Physics professor Jean Potvin, Ph.D., is serving as scientist in residence as part of the Saint Louis Science Center’s new traveling exhibition, “The Blue Whale Story.”

Featuring a life-sized replica of “Blue,” an 80-foot-long female blue whale skeleton, the exhibition offers a deeper understanding of these incredible animals and their impact on our oceans and even the St. Louis community.

Visit the Saint Louis Science Center to experience “The Blue Whale Story” and see SLU research in action. The exhibition is on view through January.

Congratulations to Dr. Nan Chen, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, on her latest NSF award! 🎉
