Thanks to Susan Buchanan over @NYAS for all of the listings this week. I got these choice events from New York Science Academy’s Science and the City email.

Listen to the sounds of glaciers melting at this multimedia performance by Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky) that’s co-presented with the Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival this month. (continue reading…)

I hope this opera finds itself on PBS-HD. That’s my favorite way to experience it:

Physics in Opera
The Theory of Everything

Physicists have long sought a theory that would unify or explain the theories of all fundamental interactions of nature. Call it the Holy Grail of physics, if you will. Now even non-scientists can observe this search at Encompass New Opera Theatre’s “The Theory of Everything,” a new opera with music by John David Earnest and libretto by Nancy Rhodes.

Whoa, I thought i knew about all the museum club parties going on this weekend, but this one slipped my inbox. AMNH has it’s science cafe, it has its teen sleepover party, and now, in an attempt to make people realize how amazing the building is, DJ’s, spinning hopefully, dope rhymes,  slammin beats.

AMNH has announced next month’s SciCafe topic and speaker, and if the event is half as noteworthy as it was this month, it would be a must go event. Looks like the cash bar, the raffle, and the amazing setting will also be back. OH and cutting edge science ideas…: (continue reading…)

In less than a week, New York Academy of Sciences will start its greatly anticipated Fall science lecture series. The five lectures span the unknown, from our biology, brain, genes, aging, space, evolution,  and science’s role in shaping our overall culture. Science visionaries include: Elkhonon Goldberg, Aubrey de Grey, Richard Dawkins, Gerald Edelman, Paul Ekman & Terrence Deacon, Felice Frankel and George Whitesides . And to really tempt you to attend all five lectures, the academy is offering a great offer that will allow you to enjoy dozens of other events this year: (continue reading…)
