🔬 Welcome to Elk Grove Science Café! Held around the world, Science Cafés are monthly conversations that make science accessible for all. While this is geared for adults, all ages are welcome! RSVP on Eventbrite to get 10% off cafe sales during this event.
☕ This month's topic is Pool Party! Vernal Pools, That Is! We'll dive in and discover the wonders of California’s vernal pools. Through photos and videos, you'll learn about the distinct phases of these temporary wetlands and meet a few of the incredibly bizarre and downright scary organisms that call them home!

For the last 22 years, he’s been with Sacramento Splash, where he leads field trips around the amazing vernal pools at Mather Field.
