ROOM 705 - Education

Saturday June 1, 2019 - 12:30 pm to 1:20 pm


Can you really incept people? What is gene editing? How many senses do Xenomorphs have? Join two neuroscience graduate students as we discuss the science behind your favorite movies, TV shows, and games. We’ll discuss common science myths, give some examples of accurate and inaccurate portrayals of science in pop culture, and answer those burning questions like ‘how close are we to creating the neurotech in Black Mirror?’
