Spearheaded globally by the Ocean Conservancy, VolunteerCleanup.org organizes Miami-Dade County’s local participation in this annual event with over 45 simultaneous shoreline cleanups around the county.
At this event, volunteers will participate in planting native dune species to enhance the critical habitat on Virginia Key. The completion of a Frost Science waiver and Miami-Dade County waiver are required for participation. These waivers are both included in the registration process. Click here to register.
LIVE@Frost Science: Chemical Reactions Happen One Molecule at a Time
On September 20, Dr. Heather Lewandowski of University of Colorado at Boulder will present “Watching Chemical Reactions Happen One Molecule at a Time.” Lewandowski will explore how we can cool atoms and molecules down to near absolute zero to observe how they interact with each other over the course of many minutes, as opposed to mere fractions of a second. These studies can help us understand how the complex molecules all around us came to be from simple reactions in space.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the program is from 7 to 8 p.m. Admission is complimentary but registration is required. To learn more, click here.
