Science in the Stacks

Twice a month, learn something new about a fascinating science topic chosen and presented by one of our very own DHS Science Honor Society students. This session includes presentations on "Plastic: The Creation Of Our Super Useful Planet-Killer" and "Coral Reefs"

About the Presenters

This is Nico Johnston, the most incredible 12th grader Darien High School has ever seen and possibly the coolest person ever to walk the Earth. I've had a jolly good time learning about science throughout my schooling career, and I am taking AP Physics C: Mechanics with our one and only Mr. Record (gulp)! I love learning about science's wackiest concepts, such as bizarre objects lurking in the depths of space or quantum theories that make me rethink my existence. I currently plan on pursuing a major in Environmental Engineering. I am over the moon to impart knowledge upon whoever lies in my audience at the Darien Library!

Hi! My name is Charlotte Palen, and I am currently a Senior at Darien High School. This year I am taking AP Biology and I took AP Environmental Science last year where I learned all about the world in which we live in. I'm very interested in the ocean and what life goes on beneath the surface, and I am super excited to share with you my knowledge about these fields of science at the library!
