Meet Sadie - an African pygmy hedgehog and a star at the Live Animal Center at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.
Sadie’s story is just one of 200 being posted each day, as the Academy counts down to its bicentennial this spring. Learn more at http://www.ansp.org/200/.

Still looking for a special Christmas or other holiday gift for someone in your life? Why not pick one with a Drexel connection? Every day from now to December 25, we’ll share some of our favorite Drexel gift ideas on Tumblr. If you have other suggestions, share them at http://drexeluniversity.tumblr.com/submit
Day 1: Explore the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University
Help your gift recipient get to know the newest part of Drexel, and explore the natural world at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University! Tickets are available for purchase at the door, or you can buy a membership online. Art lovers, be sure to visit before February 26, to see “Beguiled by the Wild: The Art of Charley Harper” in the Art of Science gallery.
Every weekday afternoon at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, the public is welcome to see the turning of a new page in a great work of scientific art, Birds of America by John James Audobon. The Academy’s copy is one of the original hand-illustrated sets sent to subscribers beginning in 1827.
One Great Idea: Drexel President John Fry and Academy of Natural Sciences CEO George Gephart discuss the inspiration behind the new affiliation between Drexel and the Academy. The partnership will enhance environmental science research and education in Philadelphia.

From August 6 through December 4, 2011, an exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (now affiliated with Drexel University) will feature the science illustrations of Dan Otte. Otte, the Academy’s senior curator of entomology, uses colored pencil, graphite, ink, and watercolors to capture in exquisite detail the intricacies of grasshoppers, beetles, crickets and weevils. He also is a pioneer in recording and interpreting sound-producing insects. The Academy owns one of the largest collections of insect songs, and visitors will hear some of these in the exhibit.
The exhibit is free with admission. Visit ansp.org for hours and admission details.
The Drexel University Tumblr account is a project of the Office of University Communications. We're new here, so let us know what you think!
