FCS Science Program Publishes Scientific Research Article

Friends’ Central’s first ever scientific research article naming an unrecognized moth species was released in The Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society on June 8, 2021. Spearheaded and co-authored by Upper School science teacher John Gruber, the paper is the culmination of activities over several years, including a Summer Science Institute for students from West Philadelphia and the lab and field work of several former and current FCS students. It also grew out of the summer Hendrie fund support for field work in New Mexico and Arizona. The work represents the first ever peer-reviewed scientific journal publication to come directly out of the FCS science program. Click here to read the full article.
