SUMMARY:Science of a Cocktail Party
DESCRIPTION:There will be smart people and beautiful people and interesting people (often the same people)\, hors d’oeuvres\, open bar with the signature pop-rock cocktail\, a DNA extraction demo (see your own DNA!)\, plus cool neuroscience demonstrations you’ll participate in\,  all in the name of science and fun. Plus\, our special Guest of Honor\, Dr. Marius Stan  \n \n aka “Bogdan Wolynetz\,” owner of the carwash and notorious eyebrows on the Emmy award-winning TV show  “Breaking Bad.” In real life\, he holds a PhD in chemistry and is a senior scientist in the Nuclear Engineering division at  Argonne National Laboratory. Really! \nSpecial VIP reception: 7:00 – 8:30pm at D.I.R.T.T. Environmental Solutions. Guests will enjoy dinner\, open bar and photos with Dr. Stan who will discuss his scientific research and experience on the show “Breaking Bad.” Access to the Cocktail Party following is\, of course\, included with this ticket.  \nGet tickets now HERE.  You will absolutely be talking about this party afterward! \nSCIENCE COCKTAIL FAQs \nAttire – Cocktail party but weather appropriate.  Meaning\, if you want to wear your cute party dress or cool new shirt – fantastic.  But if it’s rainy cold and you can’t imagine changing out of flannel-lined jeans and a wooly sweater\, that’s fine with us!  Just no snuggies\, please.  Ditch boots at the door – the drinks and conversation will warm you right up! \nParking Discount – A real $4 deal!! We’ve arranged a big discount for the first 100 guests at Mart Parc Wells Self Park garage\, 1/2 block north of the building. Enter garage from either Wells Street or Kinzie\, take your ticket and park. Bring the ticket to the party and get a discount sticker for it. Use that when you return to the garage to pay and your fee is reduced to $4.00.  No driving around the neighborhood or special reservation required.  Because ISC loves our friends. \nPublic Transit – Easy!  Event is right across the street from southeast doors of Merchandise Mart.  CTA brown line stops on 2nd level of the Mart.  (Tip – there is no down escalator in the Mart; use stairs next to ATMs outside CTA turnstiles.)  Or\, the #156 LaSalle bus stops one block east at 320 LaSalle.  Follow the narrow sidewalk on the north side of the building west toward Wells\, then turn left. \nThis is a 21+ event. Handicap accessible – Yes\, DIRTT  and Kimball are accessible. \nPrinted tickets – Don’t print out tickets; it wastes paper.  Provide your name\, and guest name(s)\, with your ticket purchase and we’ll have a complete list at the door. \n  \nSpecial THANKS to our sponsors: \n  \n   \n                     \n  \nBonus Quote – “In this house\, we OBEY the laws of thermodynamics! – Homer Simpson

SUMMARY:Shooting Stars and Meteorites - for your viewing pleasure
DESCRIPTION:ISC prepares Chicagoans for the August Perseid Meteor Shower by offering two public talks about astronomy\, shooting stars and those meteorites tough enough to get through our atmosphere and make it to earth.  We’re hosting talks in collaboration with the Chicago Public Library’s Summer Learning Challenge at branches on the north and south side.  We hope you’ll join us.  (Talks are appropriate for those over 8 years old.)  One of our speakers will be bringing actual meteorites** for you to see up close!

SUMMARY:Science author Mary Roach
DESCRIPTION:Illinois Science Council is thrilled to welcome brilliant and hilarious science author Mary Roach to Chicago.  In collaboration with the Chicago Public Library\, ISC invites you to see Mary Roach in conversation with Rebecca Skloot\, author of “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”  These two highly acclaimed and bestselling science writers will provide a fascinating discussion about Roach’s new book\, “Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal” and the writing process associated with science-based literature. \nFrom the Washington Post: \nThe irresistible\, ever-curious\, and always best-selling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. \n“America’s funniest science writer” (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo\, in their way\, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of—or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab\, a fecal transplant\, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side\, we travel the world\, meeting murderers and mad scientists\, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally)\, rabbis and terrorists—who\, it turns out\, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. \nLike all of Roach’s books\, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies. \nBooks are available for purchase and the authors will autograph books at the program’s conclusion.  Click on the book jacket below to learn more about Gulp from Amazon. \n\n
