Science After Dark! Secret Science Club teams up with Hudson River Park in Manhattan

Thursday, March 19 @ 6:30PM, $10. (Reserve your tickets.)

Secret Science Club flows into Hudson River Park's “Discovery Tank” on beautiful Pier 57 to contemplate the cosmos on the night of the dark moon.

Join us with Ana Gonzalez-Nayeck and Moiya McTier as we explore the connections between Mars and the Hudson River, investigate the moon’s impact on tides, and dive into astrobiology & lunar folklore!

Dr. Ana Gonzalez-Nayeck is an assistant professor of Environmental Science in the Natural Sciences Department at Baruch College, City University of New York. Her research involves understanding how the products of photosynthesis move through ecosystems, including in environments as far away as the surface of Mars and as close by as a reconstructed oyster habitat in the Hudson River.

Dr. Moiya McTier is an astrophysicist, folklorist, and author based in NYC. Since graduating from Harvard and Columbia, Dr. Moiya has given hundreds of talks around the world, helped design museum exhibits, and consulted with Disney. She shares her love of the universe through her podcast, Pale Blue Pod. Her sophomore book, Mothers of Invention: a History of Creativity from the Greek Muses, comes out this August.
