Virtual Science Cafe: Exploring Science and Nature Through Adventure

This week at the Science Cafe, we welcome April C. Smith, president of In Situ Explorers. Did you know there were volcanoes in North Carolina at one time? Did you know that a mini tarantula lives on Mt. Mitchell? Have you ever found a fulgurite on the beach? North Carolina possesses an astonishingly rich array of natural wonders. Building on this abundance, April Smith passionately seeks to open the world of nature to everyone. April will be talking about exploring science and nature through adventure and she will introduce some of the Museum’s own staff as contributors to her new guidebook, “Thirty Great North Carolina Science Adventures.” If you love to be outside while learning and you crave an adventure, this talk and this book are for you. Dr. April C. Smith is a former environmental researcher who has spent countless hours up to her waist in pluff mud. When she and her family had the opportunity to travel globally for two years, living in seventeen different countries, she learned that teaching science to her own kids is the best job in the world. Some of their favorite explorations in the entire world have occurred between Banner Elk and the Outer Banks, right here in the phenomenally beautiful state of North Carolina.
