For more than 100 years, scientists from the California Academy of Sciences have set off to explore the globe, returning with knowledge that has enriched our understanding of life on Earth. Today, Academy expeditions teams continue to roam the world, discovering new species and gathering information about the fragile environments they live in.

Science Heroes take care of the animals, grow coral, clean tanks, design exhibits, lead tours, educate kids, and lead active research in the field. In short, they make great role models for kids to look up to and be inspired by. Learn more »
