| Last Month for "ANIMAL GROSSOLOGY!" |
 December is your last month to experience this delightfully disgusting exhibition before it leaves on January 4! "ANIMAL GROSSOLOGY" features 16 hands-on exhibits and games that offer visitors a larger-than-life look at nature's blood-sucking, vomit-munching, slime-making and dookie-loving creatures.

This presentation is part of the Fleet's ongoing "Afternoon Scholars" lecture series held on Senior Monday - the first Monday of every month.
