Show Off Nightlife

Don't be shy-show off! This week, NightLife invites you to step up and show us what you've got.

Learn how to deliver standing ovation-worthy presentations with the help of storytelling experts from Speechless in African Hall. You'll never get tongue-tied again!

Then, stick around for a battle of the brains (over beers, of course) during "Stump a Scientist" with Academy herpetologist Ed Stanley and ichthyologist Moises Bernal.

Follow the lead of strut extraordinaire Jocquese Whitfield during a "vogue and tone" dance workshop in the Piazza.

Put those songs you so shamelessly practice in the shower to good use during a rousing round of karaoke hosted by DJ Purple-don't forget to bring your own groupies!

Strike a pose in a GIF booth and take home a stop-motion memory that's got "show off" written all over it.

Academy scientists are a constant source of showy inspiration, documenting and studying the diversity of life on Earth. Meet Dr. Rebecca Johnson at the Project Lab and learn about all things iNaturalist, the Academy's nature-for-all app that uses crowdsourcing to record observations anywhere, anytime.
