The Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee (IARPC) Collaborations invites attendance for a webinar titled Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend. This webinar will be held via Zoom Video Conferencing at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, 6 April 2018.

Webinar Summary:

In this webinar, a dentist and an archaeologist team up to reveal one of the least-known animals in the world, including the purpose of its mighty tooth. William Fitzhugh, Director of the Arctic Studies Center at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (SMNH) and Martin Nweeia, Dentist and Clinical instructor at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, will guide attendees through Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend, both an exhibit at the SMNH and a companion book by Fitzhugh and Nweeia. In addition to an exhibit tour, the two will present collaborations between Inuit and scientific communities that are deepening our knowledge of the narwhal and revealing a picture of a changing Arctic.
