Fusion Energy Week recognizes the birthday of Dr. Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin who discovered what our sun and stars are made of, which led to our understanding of fusion — a potentially limitless source of energy.</p>
<p>PPPL staff will share science displays and demonstrations inside the Rush Holt Environmental Education Center from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Two guided hikes will take place at 11 and 11:30 a.m. along the Orange Trail at Plainsboro Preserve.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This easy, approximately 0.5–1 mile loop winds along the edge of McCormack Lake, offering scenic views of wetlands, fields and forest habitats. Hikers will explore a diverse landscape featuring native plants, wildlife and excellent birdwatching opportunities, all just steps from the nature center. The Orange Trail is sunny, relatively flat and beginner-friendly, making it perfect for families and casual hikers. Each hike can accommodate up to 10 people. </p><p>Please&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScHeN0w4n9HzKkVgO9pR9m-xiQQ_H8gPMCCoxUCgwue7SYzmA/viewform?usp=header" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">register<svg class="linkpurpose-default-svg" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="14" height="14" viewBox="0 0 384 512"><path fill="Currentcolor" d="M64 464c-8.8 0-16-7.2-16-16V64c0-8.8 7.2-16 16-16H224v80c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32h80V448c0 8.8-7.2 16-16 16H64zM64 0C28.7 0 0 28.7 0 64V448c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64H320c35.3 0 64-28.7 64-64V154.5c0-17-6.7-33.3-18.7-45.3L274.7 18.7C262.7 6.7 246.5 0 229.5 0H64zm56 256c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24H264c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24H120zm0 96c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24H264c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24H120z"></path></svg></a> ahead of time.
