SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe | Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:Protecting underserved populations from lead and toxic metals in drinking-water.\n\n\n\nPlease join us at Morehead Planetarium on Friday\, January 19th for a very exciting Teen Science Cafe! For this month we will be joined by Dr. Michael Fisher from the UNC Water Institute to dive into the topic of water quality and community science.  \n\n\n\nThe western doors up the big stairs will open at 5:30 for pizza and conversation. The cafe will start at 6:00 and wrap up around 7:00. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLead is a potent neurotoxin that harms human health with disproportionate impacts on infants\, developing fetuses\, and vulnerable populations. As lead in gasoline\, paint\, and food has been progressively brought under greater control in recent decades\, water remains an increasingly important exposure route.  \n\n\n\nThis route is particularly important in private wells in the US\, as well as in a variety of water system types in many low- and middle-income country settings worldwide. Recent work by researchers at UNC and their collaborators seeks to generate evidence to inform progress on lead-free drinking water in the US and worldwide\, in alignment with 2030 sustainable development goals. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet Our Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Fisher develops\, evaluates\, and applies technologies and methods for addressing under-recognized health concerns in water and sanitation\, both in the US and internationally. This work focuses on three areas: 1) monitoring and evaluation of water and sanitation processes\, infrastructure\, and service delivery; 2) improving water and wastewater treatment; and 3) applications of implementation science and quality improvement methods to improving the performance of water and sanitation systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\n5:30 pm – Arrive and check in. We will gather inside the west\, main entrance of Morehead. \n\n\n\n5:30 pm – 6:00 pm: Pizza social. Pizza social will take place in our classrooms\, located on the 2nd floor. \n\n\n\n6:00 pm – 7:00 pm: Discussion & activities. Presentations will take place at the Science Stage located on the 1st floor. \n\n\n\n*Please Note: Depending on scheduled activities\, the program may end between 7:00 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe | Decoding the Structure of Birdsong
DESCRIPTION:Teen Science Cafe is for you! This program is just for young adults\, ages 13-18\, and it’s free!  \n\n\n\nBirdsong is a unique form of animal communication\, as it faces evolutionary pressures from mate selection and social learning\, and it possesses a vast amount of diversity. There is still much left to understand about how this variation arises and its relevance in interactions between individuals of the same species.  \n\n\n\nThis talk will examine an element of birdsong that has remained relatively enigmatic to researchers: syntax\, or the sequence of notes within a song. By exposing wild male songbirds to songs with familiar and scrambled syntax\, we can continue to decipher how information is conveyed in animal communication systems.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Speaker: \n\n\n\nEmma Reinhardt is a graduate student in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She joined Dr. Keith Sockman’s lab after graduating with a BS in biology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020. Emma has worked with a variety of organisms\, ranging from yeast to lizards to crabs\, before landing on songbirds. She is interested in understanding which elements of birdsong are most relevant in reproductive interactions. In pursuit of this\, Emma spends her summers in the mountains of southwest Colorado to collect data on a population of Lincoln’s sparrows\, a small\, brown bird with a wildly complex song. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSchedule \n\n\n\n5:30 pm – Arrive and check in. We will gather inside the west\, main entrance of Morehead. \n\n\n\n5:30 pm – 6:00 pm: Pizza social. Pizza social will take place in our classrooms\, located on the 2nd floor. \n\n\n\n6:00 pm – 7:00 pm: Discussion & activities. Presentations will take place at the Science LIVE! Stage. \n\n\n\n*Please Note: Depending on scheduled activities\, the program may end between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe: From the Rainforest to the UN: How Science Informs Climate Change Policy
DESCRIPTION:Professor Angel Hsu found herself in the lowland jungles of Costa Rica while studying abroad the summer after her freshman year at Wake Forest University\, experiencing the beauty of glass tree frogs and sound of howler monkeys\, but wondering\, “What good is the science I’m discovering\, if global warming and deforestation eventually lead to the demise of the rain forest?” This question motivated her to study climate change policy when she returned to the classroom. In this interactive talk\, Prof. Hsu will talk about how science informs policy\, drawing on her experience at the frontlines of international climate change policy. \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: Angel Hsu is an Assistant Professor of Public Policy and the Environment\, Ecology and Energy Program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. She is the Founder and Principal Investigator of Data-Driven EnviroLab\, an interdisciplinary group that uses emerging technologies and data-driven approaches to solve problems related to climate change policy. Angel previously held appointments at Yale-NUS college in Singapore as Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies and was also the lead author of the 2018 UNEP Emissions Gap report chapter on non-state actors and an author for the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report. Angel holds a PhD in Forestry and Environmental Studies from Yale University\, an M Phil in Environmental Policy from the University of Cambridge\, and a BS in Biology and BA in Political Science from Wake Forest University.

SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe | Back to the Geosphere: Impacts of CO2 Sequestration Underground
DESCRIPTION:Geological carbon sequestration involves capturing atmospheric CO2\, condensing it into liquid form\, and pumping it into deep underground aquifers.  Scientists have been exploring the environmental impacts of carbon sequestration\, including changes to groundwater geochemistry\, subsurface microbial community composition\, and the potential for fracturing and escape of CO2 back into the atmosphere.  I’ll give an overview of these impacts and share data illustrating the impact of high CO2 concentrations on subsurface microbial communities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Megan Plenge is a Teaching Associate Professor in the Department of Earth\, Marine and Environmental Sciences at UNC-Chapel Hill.  Her dissertation research focused on microbial controls on water chemistry. She is currently involved with the National Association of Geoscience Teacher (NAGT) as the North Carolina representative to the South East section\, and as a program chair for their national conference\, the Earth Educator Rendezvous.
