This is a stunning series of science and cultural lectures. Formerly the Winter Lecture Series, this
popular series is now presented year-round and is free to the public due to the generosity of sponsors.
The Nature Institute Board resolved to name the series for Dr. Arthur Whiteley who has arranged the lecture series
for a decade. Our gratitude goes to Dr. Whiteley for his thoughtful recruitment of fellow scientists who
address issues of interest and concern for our island communities.
