SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe | Life under a Solar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:Extraordinary Darkness: How Animals Respond to Solar Eclipses \n\n\n\nJoin us for our next installment of the Carolina Science Cafe\, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center’s free\, current science awareness program. For the April cafe\, we will welcome Dr. Lisa Paciulli and Dr. Adam Hartstone-Rose from NC State University to discuss wildlife under a solar eclipse. This event is a part of the North Carolina Science Festival\, a statewide\, month-long celebration of science.  \n\n\n\n\n\nUntil the “Great American Eclipse” of 2017\, the only broad study of animal behavior during a solar eclipse was conducted during an eclipse that passed through New England in 1932 – all other descriptions were fairly anecdotal\, and many were contradictory. In 2017\, Dr. Hartstone-Rose’s lab did a study of how 17 species of animals at a zoo on the path of totality reacted to this phenomenon\, and the results were amazing! Come learn about which animals reacted to the eclipse\, how they reacted\, and what their plans are for the eclipse happening on April 8th – including how you can contribute to the research! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 Café is hosted at Haw River Tab & Table in Carrboro on Tuesday\, April 2nd\, starting at 6:00 p.m. with light appetizers available for all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Lab\n\n\n\nThe Hartstone-Rose Lab studies functional morphology and comparative anatomy in vertebrates. They examine the relationship between anatomical form and behavioral functions through studies of animal behavior\, soft-tissue muscle dissections and analysis\, and morphological analysis of the craniodental anatomy of both extant and extinct species. Beyond their morphological research\, they have several funded projects aimed at broadening participation in STEM. \n\n\n\nLearn More: Dr. Hartstone-Rose Research Lab (google.com) \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:Teen Science Cafe | Evolution of Animal Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Feisty females: hyenas and lemurs and meerkats\, oh my!\n\n\n\nPlease join us at Morehead Planetarium on Friday\, April 19th for a very exciting Teen Science Cafe! For this month we will be joined by Duke University professor Dr. Christine Drea to explore species where females display physical and behavioral traits that are usually associated with males. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Drea will talk about a few special primate and carnivore species\, in which all female members display physical and behavioral traits that are typically associated with males. Despite the species’ very different lifestyles\, they share the same unusual suite of behavioral traits – including more rough-and-tumble play\, scent marking\, and aggression than males – that ultimately relate to increased female competition and contribute to making dominant females much more reproductively successful than lower females. \n\n\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\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Christine Drea is a Professor of Evolutionary Anthropology and of Biology at Duke University. Her research interests are in the mechanisms\, development\, function\, and evolution of animal social and reproductive behavior\, with a focus on exceptional mammals\, including hyenas\, lemurs\, and meerkats. The general premise driving this selection is that unusual species test our understanding of normal processes and function as ‘experiments of nature.’  \n\n\n\n\nHer team’s current work\, conducted in parts of Africa and at the Duke Lemur Center in North Carolina\, is centered on the role of androgens in female dominance and aggression\, the neuroendocrine mediators of social bonding and cooperation\, the evolution of chemical communication\, and the role of microbes in mediating animal behavior and wellbeing. A passion for wildlife and wild spaces fuels teaching\, mentoring\, and public outreach aimed at encouraging curiosity about and appreciation of the world around us\, as well as activism in support of nature conservancy. Service within the academy is focused on improving diversity and achieving equity in the workplace. \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.
