Scratch and Sniff at the Union Hall Secret Science Club

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Wednesday, September 3rd
Time: 8:00pm
Location: Union Hall (702 Union St., P'Slope)
Cost: Free

"Steeped in the perfume of spilled beer and aging taxidermy..." Union Hall brings you Secret Science Club, one of my favorite monthly events. Come nerd it up with mind-blowing lectures, volatile cocktails, and chemically-altered sounds. Tonight, Smell, the most primitive of senses take the main stage. Dr. Leslie Vosshall, head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior at Rockefeller University and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, probes the brains and neural networks of creatures from fruit flies to Homo sapiens. The world is filled with scents that suggest danger, the presence of food—and (most importantly) mating opportunities.
