How did the female body drive 200 million years of human evolution? • Why do women live longer than men? • Why are women more likely to get Alzheimer’s? • Why do girls score better at every academic subject than boys until puberty, when suddenly their scores plummet? • Is sexism useful for evolution? • And why, seriously why, do women have to sweat through our sheets every night when we hit menopause?
These questions are producing some truly exciting science – and in Eve, with boundless curiosity and sharp wit, Cat Bohannon covers the past 200 million years to explain the specific science behind the development of the female sex: “We need a kind of user’s manual for the female mammal. A no-nonsense, hard-hitting, seriously researched (but readable) account of what we are.

ISC is hosting a full-length screening of the iconic film "JAWS" with a very special science feature -- a Q&A discussion with two shark researchers who will tell you about their real-world research and answer all your questions!
You will get a new perspective on the movie from shark biologists who are big fans of the film. They will delve into the background of the book and film, fun facts and anecdotes from the making of the movie, its impacts on sharks and society (both good and bad), and the scientific accuracy of various elements of the film.
A great opportunity to let yourself get scared and then get curious to learn about shark science!
