Los Angeles, CA<\/strong>\u00a0(May 26, 2022) \u2014 After two years of a virtual program, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) is bringing a refreshed onsite experience to its visitors with this season\u2019s\u00a0NHM First Fridays: From Seeds to Psychedelics<\/strong><\/a>, featuring live music, eclectic DJs, thought-provoking discussions, signature cocktails, and more.<\/p>\n

This year, First Fridays returns to the roots of well-being, reawakened with new ideas drawn from ancient ways. From foraging to fungi, seeds to psychedelics\u2014and all things plant-based\u2014this season will look at how scientists, activists, and artists are utilizing the power of plants and fungi to save us.<\/p>\n

Then, in the Museum\u2019s iconic North American Mammal Hall, listen in on\u00a0Seed Sovereignty<\/strong>, a discussion about the meaning and importance of seed sovereignty to Indigenous communities, moderated by\u00a0Dr. Yewande Pearse<\/a>, a neuroscientist and science communicator.<\/p>\n
