Author and UO Chemistry and Biochemistry lab preparator Autumn Bradley has been invited to read from her children’s book series as part of the winter term Family Day at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History (MNCH) on the UO campus.

The event will take place on Saturday, February 23rd from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., and includes games, activities, crafts, and performances for the whole family. Autumn will be reading at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Autumn’s books encourage young readers – especially girls – to imagine themselves pursuing a career in the sciences. Astrophysicist Akimie takes readers on an exploration of galaxies, stars and planets, and Astrobiologist Aurora takes an even closer look – examining the science behind our search for life on other planets. A third book in the series is currently in the works!
