• "Underwater Caves" at Downtown Orlando Library

This month we will have a fascinating discussion at the Cafe Sci for kids at 6PM on Tuesday 13 August, at the downtown Orlando Public Library.

Underwater Caves

We hope the new school year brings lots of students to our new Science Cafes at the library.  Please help spread the word and invite students you know.

Amy Giannotti, from the Cambrian Foundation, will share her work exploring, mapping, and studying the underwater cave systems in Florida, Mexico, and Bermuda. The spirit of The Cambrian Foundation, an Orlando based 501(c3), recalls the ancient Cambrian Age, which occurred about 500 million years ago and lasted for about 80 million years, during which all life on earth was confined to water.

Amy is a marine ecologist, and is a former high-school science teacher and college instructor. Amy holds a B.S. in biology, and earned her M.S. in environmental science at the University of Virginia in 1999. 

Directions

Orlando Public Library, first floor

101 E Central Blvd

The Library is at the corner of Central Blvd and Rosalind Ave, in downtown Orlando.  From northbound Rosalind, turn left/west onto Central.  From southbound Orange, turn left/east onto Central. The library is on the north side of the street, and directly across from it is a parking deck. Parking is free downtown starting at 6, so you might need to pay some negligible amount.  Or, from anywhere in downtown, ride free Lymmo buses to Central Ave.
