Malacology 101 with Chris Witt from the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium

Chris Whitt loves mollusks—and it shows. As a marine biologist and collection assistant at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium, he’s spent the last four years sharing that passion with the public, especially through the Museum’s “Mollusks on the Move” program, which reaches over 15,000 kids each year. In Malacology 101, Chris breaks down the basics of mollusks, shelling, and why these soft-bodied creatures with hard shells are way cooler than you might think.
