- This event is a production of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library. - It is free and open to the public. - RSVPs here are not required to attend nor do they reserve seats. - The Carter Library is served by MARTA Bus 16/816. - It is about a 20-minute walk from the Inman Park-Reynoldstown MARTA Station. - There is ample free parking available for those who drive, but carpooling is recommended. “The Pollinators” is a cinematic journey around the United States following migratory beekeepers and their truckloads of honey bees as they pollinate the flowers that become the fruits, nuts and vegetables we all eat. They talk to farmers, scientists, chefs and academics along the way to give a broad perspective about the threats to honey bees, what it means to our food security and how we can improve it. Director Peter Nelson and producer Sally Roy will be on hand for an after-film discussion.

Evidence from spacecraft data has indicated that underneath this surface layer of ice is a massive, liquid-water ocean. In searching for life beyond our home planet, evidence for liquid water has been one of the first indications that scientists look for. This makes Europa, and its liquid water ocean, a key target for future exploration and scientific investigation. In this presentation, Georgia Tech planetary scientists Elizabeth Spiers will explore what "habitability" actually means, factors that can indicate habitability, which habitability indicators Europa may have, and how we can explore Europa in the future. About our speaker Elizabeth Spiers is a graduate student in Britney Schmidt's Planetary Habitability and Technology Lab at Georgia Tech (https://schmidt.eas.gatech.edu/ which continues the search for life beyond our Pale Blue Dot. Parking changes at Manuel's The parking situation at Manuel's Tavern has changed since last spring. What was once Manuel's large parking lot on N. Highland Avenue is now a construction site for future townhomes. This leaves two options for parking lots nearby. One is the small lot behind Manuel's. The other is the larger lot across N. Highland next to Java Vino. If you do choose to use this, please be very careful crossing N. Highland. A crosswalk has been striped leading to and from this lot, but, as of yet, signs have not been erected to alert drivers to this fact. There is limited on-street parking available in the neighborhood.
