Tectonic Plates: Alamance County’s Science Café announces events for Fall 2025 semester
Each second Tuesday of the month from 7 to 8 p.m., a different scientist will present engaging science at Burlington Beer Works in downtown Burlington, North Carolina. All Tectonic Plates events are free and open to the public, and you can expect a lively event in a relaxed atmosphere without all the technical jargon.
