The Evening's Theme
The road to scientific discovery is anything but simple. The way is littered with false starts, false leads, and even false intentions. On May 10, Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen teams up with The Story Collider to present four true, personal stories about science with surprising and funny twists. Join us as scientists and comedians recount adventures with wildfires, distrustful colleagues, uncooperative data, and even fraud — all on their way to exploring the natural world.
