Bucks County Community College is bringing the world to living rooms with National Geographic Live! – a series of online events featuring live Q&A sessions with NatGeo moderators.

Presented by Bucks Live!, the next event is “Scientific Exposure” at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9. Natural history photographers working with National Geographic have often emerged from scientific backgrounds, enabling them to reveal wildlife and our natural world in surprising ways. Molecular biologist-turned-photographer Prasenjeet Yadav combines his experience in research with his photography skills, and Anand Varma has developed innovative techniques to create stunning images of creatures whose details are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. Join them for stories and conversation on the intriguing intersection of science and photography.

The series continues at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16 with “Feats of Filmmaking.” Meet two filmmakers renowned for capturing extreme feats of adventure in some of the world’s most remote and inhospitable environments. Bryan Smith brings stories of adventure to the screen from the South Pacific’s deepest canyons to the frozen waters of Niagara Falls. And Keith Ladzinski takes on the seemingly impossible – including chasing tornadoes, or hanging from massive natural arches – to document the endeavors of the world’s most elite adventures.

Tickets for NatGeo Live! are $5. A link to view the online presentation will be emailed upon ticket purchase. To purchase, visit bucks.edu/tickets
