CanopyMeg will give a presentation at the first Teen Science Cafe at NRC on Friday, Sept. 7th

From WRAL.com:

The N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences’ new wing, the Nature Research Center, is perfect for older kids. And it will begin offering a new program for them this Friday with its first Teen Science Cafe.

The free event begins at 6 p.m., Friday, in the Daily Planet Cafe in the Nature Research Center.

The first session starts with a presentation from Nature Research Center director “Canopy” Meg Lowman, a pioneer of tree-top exploration and conservation. (Her work is seriously amazing). Lowman will talk about the state of the Earth’s rainforest, how teens can help conserve them and what methods scientists use to discover their secrets. Teens also will visit one of the new wing’s Investigate Labs to learn more about insects that wage war on trees.
