Description:

Deadlines. Competition. Emergencies. From a high-tech rescue mission, to a rare flower that's a late bloomer, to a pride-on-the-line dance competition, when the unexpected happens in science, we feel the pressure. Join us this month for these stories and more!

Hosted by Shane M Hanlon and Liz Neeley.

Jonathan Drake, senior program associate, Geospatial Technologies Project
Ari Novy, executive director of the US Botannical Garden
Kasha Patal, science writer for NASA and founder of D.C. Science Comedy
Adam Ruben, writer, comedian, and molecular biologist
Jennifer Shieh, chief scientist, Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer

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.
