Trees have provided food, protection, and wonder for humans throughout history. We go on assignment in Costa Rica with tree canopy ecologist and National Geographic Explorer Nalini Nadkarni to climb into the clouds and dangle from the branches. Experience the magnificent wildlife and incredible science that is happening in the vast, hidden worlds suspended above our heads. Cosmic Adventures

Tracy Drain | Aerospace Engineer

Discover the marvels of our cosmic backyard through the eyes of the robotic spacecraft sent out to explore it. Aerospace engineer and National Geographic Explorer Tracy Drain works at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop, test, and operate the complex machines that uncover some of the countless mysteries within (and way beyond!) our solar system. Among her projects: rovers on Mars, a mission to Jupiter, and a hunt for exoplanets that reshaped our entire understanding of the galaxy.

Untangling the Mind
Steve Ramirez | Neuroscientist
April 21, 2026 | 7:30pm | Vancouver Playhouse
The human brain is an electrical web of 100 trillion connections that has made everything possible, from campfires to lunar landers. We go on assignment with neuroscientist and National Geographic Explorer Steve Ramirez in his lab to witness brains in action, starting with a common research partner: mice.
Come explore the foundations of human thoughts, emotions, and memories to see what really makes us, us.
