The Human & Animal Bond is Timeless

Join us for Georgia Aquarium’s 21+ science lecture series, Science on Tap, on Thursday, August 1st. We’re offering a reception with light hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine and a fascinating presentation beginning at 6:00pm. Following the talk, there will be time for a Q&A session.

This month’s Science on Tap will dive into a fascinating talk by author Dr. Doug Mader and his decades of experience as a veterinarian. He will answer the questions of how he got his start in veterinary medicine, as well as why he wrote his book – The Vet at Noah’s Arc – and what’s next in his career! Signed copies of his book will be available onsite for those who donate to Georgia Aquarium’s research and conservation initiatives.

Come mingle, enjoy some libations, and learn! Space is limited, so please reserve your tickets now to secure your entrance into this exclusive lecture series held in our beautiful Oceans Ballroom.
