Science Café to Begin 10th Season in September
On Wednesday, September 14, Science Café returns to Tradewinds Restaurant at Duran Golf Club in Viera. The popular, informal speaker series, organized by Brevard Zoo and Florida Institute of Technology, invites community members to learn about the many science-based programs and research projects taking place at both institutions.

Each month, an expert delivers a presentation about his or her work in their field. Although the full 2016-17 schedule has not yet been finalized, the first event focuses on anti-aging research surrounding the C. elegans worm. The previous seasons featured topics as diverse as particle physics, erectile dysfunction, vision in fish and whales, and the health of the Indian River Lagoon.

“I can’t believe it’s been almost ten years since we started hosting Science Cafés for the community,” said Andrea Hill, director of marketing and communications at the Zoo. “When I look back over the years, I am still in awe of the amazing research and new discoveries happening here on the Space Coast.”

Science Café takes place on the second Wednesday of each month from September to June from 6 to 8 p.m. at Tradewinds. There is no cost to attend, although a buffet dinner is available for $12 per person. More information and a link to subscribe to the Science Café email newsletter is available at www.brevardzoo.org/special-events/science-cafes.

Discounted Admission Days Coming to Brevard Zoo
In September after Labor Day, Brevard Zoo is lowering its cost of admission to three dollars on Tuesdays and five dollars on Sundays. The promotion is open to Florida residents only and may not be combined with any other offers. All adults must present a state-issued photo identification card.
