Science on Tap: Mate Night

There are a ton of songs about love: Can’t Help Falling in Love, Crazy In Love, How Sweet It Is, Just The Way You Are, Let’s Get It On … well, maybe that last one isn’t strictly about love.

Whether you plan to listen to love songs, cook up a romantic dinner for two, or watch a bunch of slasher movies with friends, there a plenty of ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. And Science on Tap: Mate Night is a great way to kick off your week. Plus, it’s LIVE and FREE. Talk about a cheap date!

If you’re not quite in the mood just yet, let’s see if we can’t arouse some excitement with Science on Tap: Mate Night!

So, pop some bubbly, grab your oysters, and plug in your laptop as some of your favorite hosts digitally unzip the science behind attraction, mating, and more!

• This is How We Do It: Mating Habits of the Animal Kingdom - Resident lecturer on all things blush-worthy, Jim Blow, will walk us through mating habits animals and humans have in common. Grrrr…
• I Touch Myself: The Five Senses of Attraction – There’s more to attraction than meets the eye, just ask Dr. Franssen! She’ll expose the five senses of attraction.
• Wicked Games: Feeling Horny? – Join Museum educators for a quiz show designed to test your horned animal knowledge.
• Feels Like the First Time: Anniversaries in Space - Romance is in the air, but what about the vacuum of space? Astronomer Justin Bartel will help us celebrate some V-day space anniversaries.

Tune in to get turned on … to interesting science, of course! We promise this will be irresistible and there will be plenty of innuendo.

Please remember, this is not a Zoom for kids. We won’t go off the deep end, but we make no promises we won’t say something you'd rather your kid not repeat.
