My sincere condolences to the family of Paddy Wade. I just learned that she passed earlier this year. Paddy was a longtime supporter of the EcoTarium Museum of Science and Nature in Worcester MA, among her many passions. The team at the EcoTarium will remain forever grateful for her contributions to the field of science education and conservation, and her generous spirit and community engagement. May she rest in peace.
