Description:

We all like to think that we can handle just about anything. But what about those moments that catch us off guard? A travel ban that interrupts a homecoming. A mysterious illness that pulls you to black holes. A sudden shortage of helium. Hear amazing stories from five folks trying to keep things under control.

Hosted by Shane M Hanlon and Maryam Zaringhalam..

Kelly Kryc, adjunct prof at Georgetown University
Robinson Meyer, reporter for The Atlantic
Maia Pujara, neuroscientist at the National Institutes of Health
Jesse Shanahan, astrophysicist and freelance science writer.
Maryam Zaringhalam, Story Collider DC co-host/producer and AAAS fellow.

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.
