Brandywine Zoo virtual series explores careers with animals Whether you are in school, looking for a career, or just plain curious, join the Brandywine Zoo and a roster of fascinating professionals for a mini-lecture series focusing on careers working with animals—from veterinarians to researchers, from zookeepers to behaviorists, speakers will discuss career paths, what they do in their jobs, and hold a Q & A session after each presentation.

Monthly sessions are hosted on Zoom on January 3, February 7, March 7, and April 11 at 11am-12:15pm. Each session will feature three different speakers. Each session costs $8 and may be purchased on the zoo website.
