    • 12:00 AM
    • Science History Institute, 315 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA, 19106, USA


    Event Description
    POW! BAM! Superheroes are seemingly everywhere in American culture. But did you know that many of these fictional characters reflect real-world concerns about the environment? This ExhibitLab highlights the unexpected connections between the pages of comic books and real-life environmental issues from the 1970s through the present. Items such as scientific test kits, DDT bottles, and 3D-printed water filters by local students connect the world of superheroes to our own realities. This in-person exhibition will be on view at the Science History Institute in Philadelphia until April 27.

    Attendance
    The Science History Institute is free and open to the public every week Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00AM-5:00PM.

    Event Description
    Join us for a lively conversation about the state of the Colorado River, water rights in the American West, and the future of water conservation in our region. Free and open to the public. Utah State University Professor Jack Schmidt has devoted nearly 40 years to research of river systems, centered on the Colorado River, its tributaries, and the Grand Canyon. During his academic career — as well as time spent as chief of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center — he has focused on the relationship of ecosystem health and dams, reservoirs and diversions associated with river management.

    Event Description

    Chair: Maria Pirogovskaya, European University in St Petersburg

    Presenters: Marianna Szczygielska and Anastasia Fedotova

    Discussant: Nigel Rothfels

    Organizer: Anastasia Fedotova

    Between 1796 and 1896 a total of nine elephants arrived in Saint Petersburg. These extraordinary animals were sent to the tsar and his heir as diplomatic gifts by dignitaries from Iran, Bukhara, Siam, and Abyssinia. The first three arrivals were placed in the so-called Hunting Yard (nowadays Saint Petersburg downtown), but later a special elephant enclosure was built in the gardens of the Tsarskoye Selo imperial residence. A host of dedicated caretakers and veterinarians attended to the needs of each animal. As avatars of power (Pirogovskaya 2024), these elephants were pampered rather than just enslaved (Robbins 2002). Our presentation explores the regimes of keeping and caring for elephants in the capital of the Russian Empire in the long nineteenth century. We start with discussing the logistics of moving the huge inhabitants of the tropics to North-Eastern Europe. Based on archival documents, we follow the lives of these nine elephants, as well as the people who served as their keepers to reconstruct the conditions of caring for these precious animal gifts. By focusing on the elephants’ diets, their veterinary care, and welfare, we analyze the expertise that laid the foundation for keeping elephants in the imperial menagerie. We do so in order to compare this ‘pampered’ elephant captivity with the conditions available for these animals in public zoological gardens and menageries in Russia and abroad. This comparison will highlight the role of political patronage and resources in captive elephant management beyond Western colonialism.
