New program brings science to the bar
Tonight, Tuesday, Dec. 8, at 7 p.m., the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery will host its first Pub Science program at Blind Bob’s in the Oregon District.
The program for adults looking to mix libations with learning will feature Dr. David Goldstein, Chair of Wright State’s Department of Biological Sciences.
The topic? Cryopreservation.
“The idea of a living creature being able to survive being frozen and reanimated is more than just a science fiction fantasy,” says Susan Pion, Vice President, Education for the Boonshoft Museum. “Some amphibians go through this process each winter to survive the bitter cold, and Dr. Goldstein is one of the many scientists working to discover just how they accomplish this.”
According to the museum, the program has been, “designed to encourage lifelong learners to explore topics ranging from forensic science to nanotechnology … It will provide a forum for experts to share their passion for their work with people who are interested in learning about the various science-based topics, but may not have a background in the subject matter.”
The Pub Science series will take place on the second Tuesday of each month at various locations throughout Dayton.
Admission tonight is free of charge but donations will be accepted at the door. Blind Bob’s (430 East Fifth Street, Dayton) is offering a 10% discount on all food orders from Pub Science participants during the event.
For more information, call (937) 275-7431, ext. 116 or visit www.BoonshoftMuseum.org
