Eric L. Kaplan, executive producer of the long running CBS television series, The Big Bang Theory, and Harvard astrophysicist Robert Wilson, co-recipient of a Nobel Prize for finding signs of the real Big Bang, will join New York Times science writer Claudia Dreifus for a discussion of humor and science.

What's funny and what's not about the scientific enterprise? What role do serendipity and surprise play in both?

Dr. Robert Wilson is the co-discoverer of the cosmic microwave background radiation, a space echo of the real Big Bang. Mr. Kaplan, a former writer for The Simpsons and Futurama, is also the author of Does Santa Exist: A Philosophical Investigation.

Together, they will discuss the Big Bang Theory, facts, fiction and fun.
