THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
Space/Time: Airmeet 1/Thursday, September 1, 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM CDT
Title: Improbable Research Dramatic Readings
Description: Most people never read actual scientific research papers. The topics can seem obscure, the writing abstruse, stilted, fanatically technical. But some papers have parts rivaling the best theatrical scripts. Marc Abrahams, founder of the Ig Nobel Prize, which highlights work that first makes you laugh and then makes you think, has selected several such studies and invited a panel of scientists and writers to dramatically read passages from them. Despite their unfamiliarity with the research they’ve read, panelists will also attempt to answer audience questions about it.
Participants: Marc Abrahams (m), Jack Glassman, Mason A. Porter, Rosemary Claire Smith, S E Mulholland, Sharon Lee, Thiago Ambrósio Lage
