We've all heard about the importance of a good night's sleep, but only recently are we learning what a critical impact sleep during childhood has on health, obesity, learning, behavior, and emotional regulation, even into adulthood. At Pacific Science Center's July Queen Anne Science Café, join UW and the Seattle Children's Research Institute's Michelle Garrison, Ph.D., to discover why childhood sleep matters, and what we can all do to help kids get the best possible sleep.
Science Cafés bring scientists face-to-face with the general public in the comfortable, lively atmosphere of a neighborhood café or pub. The evening begins with a brief presentation by a scientist, which kicks off an extended discussion session between the scientist and audience. Previous cafés have covered climate science, evolution and religion, robotics, and health care, just to name a few. All Science Cafés are free to the public, open to all ages and no science background is required.
