Jeremy, I won't be able to attend MCN due to budget cuts but I did want to make sure you're aware of some Animal Crossing happenings in the science museum and aquarium world. The Monterey Bay Aquarium has been doing live Twitch streams of the game for a few weeks. We've been inviting guest experts onto the show to nerd out with us. It started with Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop / Field Museum to talk fossils, with entomologist Ryan Gott of Phipps Conservatory, and Monday the 4th we'll be talking with a beetle expert from the Smithsonian.
If anyone else has relevant expertise and is interested in meeting us in-game or joining the stream, please feel free to reach out to me. Check out recordings of our Animal Crossing streams here (we've done seven 2-hour episodes so far): https://www.twitch.tv/collections/B2eYd5CdAxZ8DA And read the story behind why we're doing this here: https://www.polygon.com/2020/4/13/21218993/animal-crossing-new-horizons-real-museum-curation-tour Best, Dana Allen-Greil Director of Digital Strategy Monterey Bay Aquarium _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: [email protected] To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://mcn.edu/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
