An evening of “mad science”

When: Thursday, November 3rd, 6-10 PM

Where: California Academy of Sciences, 55 Music Concourse Dr, San Francisco, CA 94118

Cost: $10 members/$12 non-members, Tickets

Be dazzled, puzzled and inspired by an evening of “mad science” that will leave your beaker bubbling. Expand your geeky cocktail party repertoire with tidbits from a series of thought-provoking 5-minute Ignite talks by the likes of Tim O’Reilly (co-founder of Maker Faire), Tito Jankowski (of BioCurious, which he describes as “hackerspace for biotech”), science journalist Annalee Newitz, and science comedian Brian Malow. Plus, a series of memorable demonstrations from Physics Circus Ringmaster Zeke Kossover at 7 and 8pm, and a caberet-style musical act performed by one-of-a-kind Physics Chanteuse Lynda Williams at 7:30 and 8:30pm. Then stop by and see an exhibit of original artwork from the one and only Science Tarot deck, and have your cards read. Music by DJs from Rock It Science Laboratory. Mad Science NightLife is a Bay Area Science Festival event.
