World Science Festival | Science and Story Cafe: The Story of Science, One Book at a Time

MODERATOR Richard Panek
PARTICIPANTS Lisa Barrett, Michael Benson, Susana Martinez-Conde, Oren Harman, Jim Holt, Janice Kaplan, Stephen Macknik, Barnaby Marsh, Ken Miller, Andrew Revkin

How do you tell the story of intangible ideas and scientific phenomena such as luck, enlightenment, heredity, weather, evolution, and illusions not only cogently, but artfully? No easy feat, but with lyrical writing, careful research, and explanations everyone can understand, our Science and Story Cafe authors have done just that. Come meet these masters of science as they wax rhapsodic on the topics that have lit their imaginations and fueled their intellectual fires–plus get your books signed to boot. This is an all-day event, with new authors speaking at the top of each hour and many other authors available throughout the day to sign books and answer questions.

Science and Story Cafe is FREE and open to the public. RSVP not required, but encouraged. RSVP HERE!
