Join us at our first Academy Nightcaps event — a monthly late evening virtual program that tells the more risqué stories of nature. Sip slowly as you enjoy a casual virtual conversation with scientists and educators who are eager to impart their knowledge over an aperitif. Share your knowledge, take polls and experience a multimedia presentation as we savor the most alluring science topics. ⁠
