SUMMARY:Science of Game of Thrones
DESCRIPTION:Illinois Science Council is excited to host author and physicist Rebecca Thompson\, PhD\, to discuss her new book\, “Fire\, Ice\, and Physics – The Science of Game of Thrones\,” that delves into the science of George R. R. Martin’s fantastical world\, from the physics of an ice wall to the genetics of the Targaryens and Lannisters. \n\n\n\n\nGame of Thrones is a fantasy that features a lot of made-up science — fabricated climatology (when is winter coming?)\, astronomy\, metallurgy\, chemistry\, and biology. Most fans accept it all as part of the magic. A trained scientist\, watching the fake science in Game of Thrones\, might think\, “But how would it work?” Rebecca Thompson turns a scientist’s eye on Game of Thrones\, exploring\, among other things\, the science of an ice wall\, the genetics of the Targaryen and Lannister families\, and the biology of beheading. \nThompson\, a PhD in physics and enthusiastic Game of Thrones fan\, uses the fantasy science of the show as a gateway to some interesting real science\, introducing GOT fandom to a new dimension of appreciation. Thompson starts at the beginning\, with winter\, explaining seasons and the very elliptical orbit of the Earth that might cause winter to come (or not come). She tells us that ice can behave like ketchup\, compares regular steel to Valyrian steel\, explains that dragons are “bats\, but with fire\,” and considers Targaryen inbreeding. Finally she offers scientific explanations of the various types of fatal justice meted out\, including beheading\, hanging\, poisoning\, skull crushing\, and burning at the stake. Even the most faithful Game of Thrones fans will learn new and interesting things about the show from Thompson’s entertaining and engaging account. Fire\, Ice\, and Physics is an essential companion for all future binging. \n\nWednesday\, October 16\, 2019\n7:00pm (doors open at 6:00pm)\nFood & Drink available for purchase\nTickets $15 advance; $25 day of – Here\n\n\nCopies of Fire\, Ice & Physics will be available for purchase and signing after the event thanks to Open Books Chicago.

SUMMARY:Flu Shots & Drink Shots -- Immunology @ a Bar! - 2019-09-25
DESCRIPTION:Get your flu shot – Get a drink shot! Seriously.\nIt’s easy to procrastinate getting your annual flu shot. If you didn’t get yours yet\, ISC is making it soooo easy for you! Even if you already got yours\, you certainly have friends who haven’t\, maybe because they’re nervous\, skeptical\, or think they don’t need it. You need to bring them to this program where they can get all their questions answered\, in person\, by real science experts. \nYou’ll be rewarded with a free drink as well for being a public health hero! \nHave a drink\, learn the real deal about vaccines\, then get your flu shot. Done! \nGet answers to these and all your vaccine questions: \n\nHow are antibiotics different from vaccines and how do they work?\nWhy does it have to be a shot and can’t be a pill?\nWhy should I get a vaccine for something as mild as the flu?\nCan’t I get sick from a flu shot? I’m scared of a serious reaction.\nWhy every year? Why not just one good one as a kid like chicken pox?\nLittle babies can’t handle lots of shots because they’re delicate\, right?\nWhy are there vaccines for measles and flu but not Zika\, Ebola\, AIDS\, or Herpes?\nCan’t I just change my diet to boost my immune system and not get sick?\nYour questions!\n\nIL Science Council’s Experts: \n    Susan Ross\, PhD\, Virologist\, Professor at University of Illinois at Chicago \n    Steven Piecyk\, Pharm.D.\, Pharmacy Manager\, Jewel-Osco Pharmacy \nDoors open at 6:00pm; Program at 7:00pm.\nFood & drink are available for purchase at Haymarket.\nTickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of.\nTicket includes 1 free drink (does not need to be a shot; can be soda\, coffee\, a house beer\, well cocktail or wine)\nRegistration is required. Register here. \nAfter the discussion\, guests can get their flu shot in the back room from a licensed Osco pharmacist. Most health insurance plans will cover the flu shot at 100%. To get your shot for free\, if you have health insurance\, you must bring your health insurance card\, or just take a picture of it to keep in your phone to show the pharmacist. A couple limited plans (certain HMOs) will not cover a flu shot at 100%. If you have one of those\, or no current insurance\, we will have a limited number of flu shots that can be provided at no cost but you must let us know in advance. \nQuick & easy; tiny needles; (virtually) painless. Don’t put it off any longer\, and be a public health hero! \nIllinois Science Council thanks to our great partners! \n   \nIf you are interested in event sponsorship\, contact Monica at mmetzler@IllinoisScience.org.
