PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Science Cafe: The Physical Fitness of Leaves

Join retired Duke professor Steven Vogel for a look at how a leaf manages its world, and what this tells us about how we manage — or ought to manage — our own. Vogel will sign/sell copies of his book “Life of a Leaf” after the program.
(7pm, Daily Planet Café, NRC, 1st floor)

Nature Drawing

In this class, we'll learn how to use illustration and art to explore a wide range of natural life, from creatures that live in your backyard to animals that live in the canopies of the rainforest.
