SPECIAL EVENT! Secret Science Club joins forces with Hudson River Park to present an all-aquatic evening in Lower Manhattan

Tuesday, July 26 @ 7PM, $10. (Reserve your tickets.)

This July Secret Science Club flows into the park’s River Project Wetlab on beautiful Pier 40 to explore mysterious marine minds. What amazing animals live in NYC’s wildest & wettest ecosystem? And what are they thinking?

Biologists Diana Li and Kelsey Hom dive into the brains & bodies of NYC’s aquatic creatures (squid! toadfish!) at this special Ask a Scientist event.

Before & After the Talks
--Get up close and personal with wildlife from NYC’s liquid wilderness. Check out the exhibits & aquariums in the River Project Wetlab, filled with creatures that live right under our noses alongside Wall Street, Tribeca, the West Village, and Chelsea.
--Groove to sea-salty tunes in our “Ebb Tide Lounge”
--Imbibe thirst-quenching drinks
--Watch a live dissection
--Ask a scientist (or two!) about your favorite Hudson River species

Diana Li is a scientist & educator based at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Institute where she leads public engagement programs about brain science. She earned her Ph.D. at Stanford University where she studied the neurophysiology and biomechanics of swimming squid. Dr. Li has appeared on “Science Friday” and the “Facts Machine” podcast at Caveat, and in local classrooms, aquariums, and museums.

Kelsey Hom teaches biology at Brooklyn College and is working on her Ph.D. at the CUNY Graduate Center, where she researches the neural adaptations of vocal fish living in a noisy environment. She uses a local toadfish species, the oyster toadfish, to understand how these fish are able to find mates with acoustic calls, despite living beside NYC. She collaborates with Hudson River Park’s River Project to collect specimens and conduct experiments.

This program meets Tuesday, July 26, 7PM at the River Project Wetlab on Hudson River Park’s Pier 40. (The entrance to the pier is at the intersection of W. Houston St and West St in Manhattan.) Subway: 1 to Houston St; C or E to Spring St.

Tickets are $10. Click here to reserve your spot!

Secret Science Club presents Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty

After decades of planning, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope successfully launched and reached its final orbit—nearly 1 million miles from Earth. Now, the first images from the Space Telescope have been unveiled!

At the next Secret Science Club, astrophysicist Jackie Faherty dives into the glorious new pictures of the cosmos and shares what astronomers are on the verge of discovering.

Get ready to look deeper into the Universe than ever before…

JACKIE FAHERTY is an astrophysicist and senior educator at the American Museum of Natural History. She is one of a small group of astronomers selected to be among the first to use the James Webb Space Telescope for scientific observation. She co-runs a dynamic research group at AMNH entitled Brown Dwarfs in New York City (BDNYC) and is a regular presenter and host of the Astronomy Live programs at AMNH’s Hayden Planetarium. The author of over 100 scientific papers, Dr. Faherty and her research have been featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Scientific American, and on StarTalk, NPR, and the BBC.
