Even in the wake of losing her husband, scientist Even in the wake of losing her husband, scientist Lynn Lozier of Fairfax recognizes her great fortune. For 44 years, Lozier was able to work alongside her husband, Larry Serpa, at The Nature Conservancy @nature_org; she as a program director, he as an aquatic ecologist. Serpa’s project entailed spending vacations on an ecological scavenger hunt, searching for insects in the remote waterways of California. “Because Larry always wanted to know what was where, we spent years playing in mountain meadows, the most gorgeous places in the world,” Lozier says. 

In 46 years, Serpa amassed more than 3,000 collections of aquatic insects in 54 California counties, from the coast to 11,000 feet in elevation, finding some insects that were thought to be extinct. He gathered, analyzed and documented more than 200,000 specimens representing 1,500 different species. In January, Lozier donated her late husband’s entire private collection to the California Academy of Sciences @calacademy, creating the Larry E. Serpa Western North America Aquatic Invertebrate collection in the Department of Entomology, the largest private aquatic invertebrate collection the Academy of Sciences has ever received.

Mention Cinco de Mayo, the annual holiday celebrat Mention Cinco de Mayo, the annual holiday celebrated on May 5 in Mexico, and the U.S., and the first thing that may come to mind is tequila and margaritas. There’s a reason for that: In the mid-20th century, Mexican immigrants in the U.S. began celebrating Cinco de Mayo as a way to show pride in their heritage. Mexico’s spirits producers capitalized upon it and began promoting Cinco de Mayo, along with their products, to a broader audience until it grew into the holiday we know it as today.
