It wasn't the year we expected, but we want to thank the viewers & presenters who joined us as NightLife went online—we had no idea that when we launched "Virtual NightLife" in April that it would be the 1st of 29, but here we are! Here's the playlist! bit.ly/33NF0F8 😘

BEST of 2020! 75+ episodes & 9+ months later, a planet-sized thanks to every single human who watched (or appeared on) one of our livestreams. To celebrate, a recap of 10 viewer favorites: bit.ly/3o2Ye0K #MuseumAtHome

Missed last night's NightSchool, with its Claude watercolor, mini-Claude terrarium, & DJ Claude? No worries! Science Craft Fair is on YouTube (along with the 29 other NightSchool programs we've done this year): bit.ly/2JUytkA

Meet Yule Claude, our NightSchool: Science Craft Fair mascot. He'll be popping up during the stream on Thursday to help you with your holiday crafting & shopping ideas. Don't miss it/him: bit.ly/3oA3WHk 🎁🐊🎁

This Thursday marks the last NightSchool of 2020 (don't worry, we're back in 2021), so we're having a little festive fun with a Science Craft Fair, perfect for the holidays & showing off local artists & makers. Set a reminder for the event here: bit.ly/3oA3WHk & then...

Here's a track to get you in the mood: youtu.be/tArdmbr_znI

Tonight on NightSchool: Wild Cats on the West Coast, ft. Cameron Macias of the Olympic Cougar Project & Chris Wilmers of @ucsc & @santacruzpumas. Watch it live, 7pm PT on YouTube: bit.ly/2HW2mjy

For #GivingTuesday , we're working to raise $9K—the cost of feeding our Species Survival Plan colony of African penguins for 100 days. (A huge help as we face our 2nd closure.) If you're able to give, it goes 3x further today on FB bit.ly/2VquBKq. Thank you, humans! 🐟❤️

@JoyDaniels Happy to hear it, & thanks so much for watching!

Thank you @CASNightLife for another amazing, well-programmed event. Kudos to all your speakers. I learned so much. Sloth fans tune in!

🦥 Tonight during NightSchool: The Slow Life of Sloths—Find out why this sloth is wearing a little hat, plus much much more! Tune in at 7pm PT, live on YouTube: bit.ly/3pmRlsg (📸: Bryson Voirin)

Hi. We just met this baby sloth while prepping for this week's NightSchool. It currently lives at @appc_panama, a wildlife rescue that cares for sick, injured, & orphaned animals. Learn more about their work (& meet this dude) this Thursday at 7pm PT: bit.ly/3fbyziM

7pm PT tonight: It's jelly time! We're back with NightSchool & a closer look at these gelatinous wonders. Join science writer @juliberwald, venomologist @GelatinousSting, science illustrator @NickBezioArt, & biologist Riah Evin live on YouTube: bit.ly/3mdIB5q

You feel that tingle going down your spine? Is it perhaps because you know our Halloween event is starting soon? Is it the thought of alligator carcasses? Jumping spiders? The Rice Rockettes? It's all coming at you, live on YouTube at 7pm PT: bit.ly/3m5Dowr 🦑🕸⚰️

Zombie worms, football-sized creepy-crawlies, & a thieving shark.... three alligator carcasses meet three unique fates in the ocean deep... & only @benthic_bryant (and, you know, her research team) knows what happened. Tonight on Virtual NightLife, 7pm PT: bit.ly/3m5Dowr

Yes, we're going to miss seeing all the incredible costumes at NightLife this Thursday, but we're still going to host some terrifying drag: Meet Estée Longah & Vermicelli Versace of the Rice Rockettes, your Virtual NightLife hosts & performers: bit.ly/3m5Dowr

This Halloween, join our friends @Lets_Reimagine in facing death to embrace life. How would you want to be remembered? Think about it. Share it now. Share it during Virtual NightLife on Thursday. Or hold onto it for the future. ⬇️ bit.ly/3m5Dowr

Look upon the face of this jack inside the bell of a jelly & tremble! (Though this jack is likely fine & will leave the jelly when it gets older.) Just one frightening images that photographer & blackwater diver Jeff Milisen will share this Thursday: bit.ly/3m5Dowr
