4-H Wild Spartans January

January 13, 2026 6:30PM - 7:30PM


Join 4-H staff as we take a look into life working with fisheries and wildlife! This month’s 4-H Wild Spartans Series will discover how tiny creatures can tell BIG stories about the world around us. Explore creepy-crawly clues, hear amazing stories, and learn how science and nature work together to solve puzzles. Join us on Tuesday, January 13th, 2025 at 6:30pm EST for “Nature’s Detectives: How Insects Help Solve Crimes Against People, Animals, and the Environment Through Forensic Entomology.” You will meet Dr. Samantha Sawyer, a forensic entomologist at the University of New Haven, Connecticut. You’ll learn about her work, and the education and career path she followed to get there. Youth are encouraged to ask questions to learn more through a live Q&A. This free virtual series is open to 4-H and non-4-H youth ages 12-19 years. Monthly sessions are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm EST.  Pre-registration is required: https://events.anr.msu.edu/WildSpartansSeriesFall2025Spring2026/
