You know some Wednesday nights I sit home and watch America's Next Top Model. And other Wedensday nights I go to Union Hall and discuss hot topics in science! Turn on your Bunsen Burners 'cause tonight's Super Science Club is "A Cataclysmic Evening: [of] Super-volcanoes and Killer Asteroids." Geologist and NASA researcher Michael Rampino lectures on Mass Extinctions and the History of Life as chronicled in the fossil record, the history of life is marked by violent and devastating episodes. He asks: Why was 95 percent of ocean life wiped out 250 million years ago? Was human evolution influenced by the eruption of a super-volcano? Who benefits from mass extinctions? (Answer: Not dinosaurs.) And don’t forget to sample the Secret Science Club’s Shock-tail of the Night: the explosive Magmarita.
