Lifelong Learning Global Discovery: An Evening with Gaelin Rosenwaks from 6–8 p.m. at the South Carolina Aquarium | How does one find themselves documenting family bonds for the largest toothed whale on the planet? For celebrated photographer, videographer and author Gaelin Rosenwaks, it all started from a chance encounter with a stranded sperm whale named Physty during childhood. As part of Lifelong Learning Global Discovery, hear Rosenwaks weave together her research with polar ice core samples, climate change, conservation and fisheries that ultimately brought her beneath the waves alongside sperm whales in the eastern Caribbean Sea. Member tickets are $20 and general admission tickets are $25; light hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine will be available.

A signing of Gaelin’s book, “Sperm Whales: The Gentle Goliaths of the Ocean”, will immediately follow. Books may be purchased prior at Itinerant Literate Books or online, and a small stock will be available at the event.

This event will include light hors d’oeurves, beer and wine, and it will also be livestreamed starting at 6:30 p.m. on April 24 at this link: https://scaquarium-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUqde-qpjgtGN18DkBRfOEvz3vy4X2RL8N8
