DESCRIPTION:What’s Going on with U.S. Childbearing? And Should We Be Worried?\n\n\n\nAs birth rates in the U.S. and elsewhere have declined since the Great Recession\, there has been considerable concern among pundits and policy makers over the causes and consequences of low fertility. This concern has prompted a range of efforts to raise U.S. birth rates. In this talk\, Dr. Karen Benjamin Guzzo will give an overview of childbearing trends in the U.S.\, discuss why people are delaying or limiting childbearing\, and provide insights into the demographic\, economic\, and policy impacts of low birth rates. She will round out her talk by highlighting the current policies and efforts to raise birth rates in the U.S. and what they will – and will not – achieve. \n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Karen Benjamin Guzzo is a family demographer and sociologist\, and she serves as Director of the Carolina Population Center. She is also a Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

at Stagville — Geminid Meteor Shower DESCRIPTION:Join staff and volunteers from Morehead Planetarium and Science Center\, Chapel Hill Astronomical and Observational Society (CHAOS)\, and Historic Stagville for the peak night of the Geminid meteor shower! \n\n\n\nTo view meteors\, all you need are your eyes. However\, we’ll offer telescopes for you to catch Saturn\, Jupiter\, and other celestial sights. Please note that this event is weather-dependent. In the event of a cancellation\, we will provide updates on our website and social media. \n\n\n\nTo attend and receive updates about this free event\, please register using the link below. We hope to see you there! \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnow Before You Go\n\n\n\n\nThis outdoor event will take place in the open field at the Horton Grove entrance of Historic Stagville State Historic Site. Due to the high volume of people and limited parking\, please carpool if possible.\n\n\n\nThis is an informal session\, so you can arrive and leave at any time during the program. However\, if you plan to attend\, we suggest bringing a blanket or chairs and some snacks so you can relax under the stars.\n\n\n\nWe ask that you leave all pets at home\, even those on a leash. Darkness\, lots of people\, expensive telescopes\, and pets are a bad combination. Pets will not be permitted near the telescopes.\n\n\n\n\nHave more questions about skywatching?
