Science Cabaret makes a comeback
When the Lost Dog Café closed this summer, the future of Science Cabaret was uncertain. But with the opening of WildFire Lounge in the same location, the monthly science sessions are back, starting Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m.
This month’s speakers are Barbara Mink, founder and artistic director of the Light in Winter festival, and Frank Moon, a sculptor and professor of engineering at Cornell. The two will lead a discussion on science in art and art in science, said Kitty Gifford, one of the series’ co-organizers.
Started in 2005, Ithaca’s Science Cabaret aims to bring science from the universities to the public in an informal setting – often over a cup of coffee or a beer. For upcoming info on the schedule, go to http://bti.cornell.edu/scicab.php.
WildFire Lounge is located at 106 S. Cayuga St. in Ithaca.
