ALGAE FUEL

Time: 10 am - 12 noon

The earth is home to over 30,000 species of algae, a family of bizarre organisms that are neither plant nor animal. You'll find them from the tropics to the poles. Some are bigger than you, others are too tiny to see with the naked eye but thanks to a few of the tiniest ones, someday you just might be using algae to fuel your car.
Come to KNME's September Science Café, view a segment of Algae Fuel from NOVA scienceNOW, and join in a discussion with Dr. Jerilyn Timlin, a chemist at Sandia National Laboratories, to learn what scientists in New Mexico are doing to help address the nation's future energy needs with algal biofuels.
Admission
ADMISSION IS FREE, but a reservation is required. RSVP to Rose Poston at 277-2396 or rposton@knme.org.
