Analyzing Anemones: Students Discover New Species

During a year in the Museum’s Science Research Mentoring Program, two high school students discover more than just new lab skills: they discover a new species of anemone. See how Elena and Sebastian’s project analyzing some of the invertebrate collections at the American Museum of Natural History taught them how to be scientists and helped contribute to a scientific discovery.
