Is Avatar’s Pandora just a place made up in James Cameron post-Titanic mind or are there really strange species that lurk around us?  Grab your friends and geek out at the American Museum of Natural History’s Mysteries of the Congo: Exploring the World’s Deepest River.

Hear from Museum Curator Melanie Stiassny, an ichthylogist who is ready to share her team’s craziest discoveries in Africa’s Congo River, the deepest in the world.

Stiassny, who has been featured on ‘The Colbert Report’, will be answering all of the questions your scifi-obsessed brain can think of at the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth this Wednesday, January 6. Come at 7pm and enjoy the free admission and cash bar courtesy of the museum’s new SciCafe series that takes place on the first Wednesday of every month.

Enter at the 81st Street/Rose Center entrance, but leave your 3D glasses at the door.
