Dr. Roland Kays, head of the Biodiversity Research Lab at NCMNS and professor at NC State University, will share the story of his team’s expedition across the United States in this special lecture event.

Doors open at 6:30PM. The lecture begins in the WRAL 3D Theater at 7PM. This event is free and open to the public.
