Frogs at the Whipple

"Inspired by the arrival of our star amphibian at the museum, this summer the Whipple is going hopping mad! Frogs have been fundamental in scientific developments in cloning, in the discovery of the electrical signals from nerves, and have been used for hundreds of years by students learning about anatomy and dissection. Frogs provided the first reliable, non-deadly pregnancy test and have even been into space! We're celebrating their significant contributions to the history of science - keep checking back for more events and activities."
