Thanks, Science Café

•

A special thank you to David Spakes for inviting me to speak about science/nature writing and cicadas at the July edition of Science Café. The bulbous homopterans make an appearance in my first book Natural Histories published by the University of Tennessee Press.   

We met at the Bearden Branch of the Knox County Public Library last Thursday evening while the scissor-grinder cicadas were buzzing outside on a typical hot, sultry July day. 

Spakes has been hosting Science Café at different locations since April 2011 and he does a wonderful job finding interesting and varied topics every month.

And special thanks to Sheila for the kids activity.
