SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe | Brain-Machine Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:Connecting Minds with Machines\n\n\n\nJoin us for the next installment of the Carolina Science Cafe\, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free\, current science awareness program. For the March Cafe\, we will be joined by Dr. Amol P. Yadav from the UNC-NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill to discuss his research on brain-spine interfaces\, multi-animal brain-nets and closed-loop stimulation. \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, this program explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the headlines. The Carolina Science Cafe is hosted at Haw River Tab & Table in Carrboro on Tuesday\, March 4th\, starting at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers available for all attendees. Parking is available in the parking deck behind the building if the lot out front if full. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Amol Yadav is an Assistant Professor in the UNC-NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC-Chapel Hill. He earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2015 from Duke University in the laboratory of Dr. Miguel Nicolelis\, where he developed tools to advance brain-machine interfaces using spinal cord neuromodulation\, and pioneered technologies such as brain-spine interfaces\, multi-animal brain-nets and closed-loop stimulation \n\n\n\n\nHis research lies at the intersection of Neuroscience and Engineering\, and his lab specializes in spinal cord stimulation\, high-density neural recording\, computational modeling\, behavioral experimentation in rodents and human clinical trials with invasive technologies. To advance translational ideas and to bridge the gap between pre-clinical and clinical research\, the lab collaborates with surgeons\, clinicians\, basic scientists\, and other engineers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Carolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!

SUMMARY:Saturday Science Sparks: Migration
DESCRIPTION:Credit: The Avian Society at UNC-Chapel Hill\n\n\n\n\nThe Science of Migration\n\n\n\nCalling All Bird Brains: Celebrate International Migratory Bird Day at Morehead\n\n\n\nIn this Saturday Science Sparks session\, explore the wonders of winged migration through the tools of a bird researcher! With the help of UNC’s Sockman Lab\, the UNC Avian Society\, and the New Hope Bird Alliance\, you’ll get the chance to help the scientists uncover how the Earth’s seasons impact a bird’s journey\, discover the diverse bird species of North Carolina\, and talk with Gloria Gao ’27\, Founder of the Avian Society\, as you engage in hands-on activities and learn how to become a community scientist for the benefit of birds (and people!). \n\n\n\nIncluded with paid admission and located in the Launch Lab. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n10:00 am to 12:00 pm\n\n\n\n1:00 pm to 3:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: there will be a midday break. \n\n\n\nMORE is happening at Morehead this year\n\n\n\nNew for 2026\, Saturday Science Sparks offers Morehead guests a closer encounter with current science. Covering topics like astronomy\, the physics of juggling\, and computer science\, this program collaborates with community partners and academic clubs\, bringing you up-close experiences in the exciting world of STEAM. Saturday Science Sparks is open to the public and included in admission. \n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: New Hope Bird Alliance
