SUMMARY:Teen Science Cafe: Food & Microbiomes
DESCRIPTION:Food & Microbiomes with Dr. Erin McKenney\n\n\n\nPlease join us at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center for January’s Teen Science Cafe! This month\, we welcome Dr. Erin McKenney\, who will be sharing her work on food and gut microbiomes in both animals and humans.  \n\n\n\n\n\nOpen to teens ages 13-18\, our monthly cafes include exciting activities\, engaging talks from expert speakers\, and even free food! Plus\, we cover a variety of different topics\, ranging from cell biology to deep space galaxies\, making it a one-of-a-kind spot for high school students to explore new ideas\, interact with each other\, and have fun!Doors will open at 6:00 pm for pizza and conversation. The cafe will start at 6:30 pm and wrap up around 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Teen Science Cafe\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Dr. McKenney\n\n\n\nDr. Erin McKenney is an assistant professor and Director of Undergraduate Programs at North Carolina State University. She studies how microbial communities form over time and how they adapt to their environments. Her research incorporates microbial ecology\, nutrition\, and comparative gut morphology to learn how gut microbes affect health – and how humans can leverage or upset that balance. For over a decade\, Dr. McKenney has investigated evolutionary adaptation across different scales and species\, between non-human primates and carnivores and their gut microbes. More recently\, she has expanded her research to sourdough and other fermented foods that can be studied without laboratory equipment\, using citizen science research to empower students of all ages and all over the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\n6:00 pm: Arrive and check in. We will gather inside the west\, main entrance of Morehead. \n\n\n\n6:00 – 6:30 pm: Pizza social. The pizza social will take place in our classrooms\, located on the 2nd floor. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – 7:30 pm: Discussion & activities. Trivia will take place in the Science Stage. \n\n\n\nPlease Note: Depending on scheduled activities\, the program may end between 7:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.

SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe: The Big Bang
DESCRIPTION:Reaching back to the Big Bang from one of the highest places on Earth\n\n\n\nScientists are pushing to the most extreme observing sites in the world to study the universe’s most ancient light. New telescopes and cameras harness cryogenic cooling power to deploy pixels chilled to near absolute zero to study the remnants of the Big Bang. During February’s Carolina Science Cafe\, Dr. Eve Vavagiakis will introduce the cosmic microwave background and shine some light on how we use the universe as a laboratory for fundamental physics. In addition\, she will discuss exciting new telescopes and what it’s like to deploy cutting-edge technologies on ancient stratovolcanoes in the Chilean Atacama Desert. \n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe is a free program that explores science topics making national and international headlines\, offering 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\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Eve Vavagiakis (she/her) is an Assistant Professor at Duke University and a previous postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. In her spare time\, she enjoys anything active and outdoors\, especially climbing mountains\, even when there aren’t telescopes on top. \n\n\n\n\nSee the speaker’s work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina 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: The Science of Puppy Love
DESCRIPTION:(Megan Mendenhall / Office of Research Communications)\n\n\n\n\nCan humans love robotic dogs?\n\n\n\nThis Valentine’s Day\, experience puppy love with Spot\, UNC-Chapel Hill’s very own robot dog! Take the reigns and bring this computerized canine to “life\,” while discovering the inner workings of how it moves and “thinks.” With the help of UNC’s Experimental Engineering Lab (EEL) and the Interactive Robotics and Novel Technologies (IRON) Lab\, you’ll be able to explore how scientists and engineers craft robots to engage with the world. Join us as these incredible labs share their work\, answer your burning questions\, and offer a behind-the-scenes look at life as a scientist! \n\n\n\nLocated in the Ivan R. King Gateway Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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. Mark your calendars for the second Saturday of each month! \n\n\n\n\nLearn more about Saturday Science Sparks
