Description:

What's it like to be on the outside looking in? Whether you're a metal head who finds himself at a scientific conference or a glaciologist giving first aid to a seal, we all have stories about feeling like we're a little out of our comfort zone. This month we bring you stories of trying to find our place, whether in or through science, as outsiders.

Hosted by Shane M Hanlon and Farah Z Ahmad.

STORIES BY:

  • Maureen Boyle

  • Gifford Wong

The Story Collider was founded in 2010 by Ben Lillie and Brian Wecht, two physicists who met at a storytelling show in Queens and quickly realized that they could do that too. Since then, The Story Collider has been bringing true, personal stories about science to life both through our many live shows as well as our weekly podcast, and we've used what we've learned about science and stories to teach scientists to use narrative in our university and corporate workshop program.

Doors open at 7:30pm, show begins at 8:00pm. Seating is mix of chairs and standing room, please arrive early for best seats.
