One Fish. Two Fish. Red Fish. Blue Fish, wrote Dr Seuss. But what about Sick Fish? Sometimes even little aquarium fish need surgery. Fish surgery is the focus of KNME Science Café, Saturday, Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to noon, at the Albuquerque Aquarium – Biopark near Old Town.
Science Café kicks off with “Fish Surgery,” a short TV segment from an episode of the PBS national series NOVA scienceNow, which looks at how veterinary medicine has caught up with Americans’ love for their number one choice of pet: the fish. Café participants can then engage in an interactive discussion with a local expert about how the Albuquerque Aquarium handles fish surgeries: what goes on, the difficulties involved, and answers questions about anything with fins. Come prepared for a lively discussion.
Admission is free, however a reservation is required and seating is limited to the first 70. Please call 848-7180 to RSVP.
This 13th KNME Science Café is presented with support from New Mexico Tech, Lockheed Martin/Sandia National Labs and the American Chemical Society - Central New Mexico Local Section.
KNME-TV presents Science Café six or more times per year at various locations. The concept is to show clips from an episode of NOVA scienceNOW or a comparable program, with an expert on that topic on hand to answer questions, and have an open discussion with the audience in a café atmosphere. Take part or listen to the discussion. It’s fun, casual and laid back... Be curious, amazed and have fun at KNME Science Café. For more information call: (505) 277-1218 or (505) 848-7180.
