Room 211ABCD

Saturday April 22, 2017 - 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm


Science is excellent fodder for Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Speculative Fiction. Underexplored is the role of science in graphic nonfiction. Yet there have been original and impactful graphic books on string theory, physics, Turing, and Russell. We invite creatives Christos Papadimitriou of Logicomix, Jorge Cham of PhD Comics, and Clifford Johnson, String Theorist and graphic artist, -- hosted by astrophysicists Janna Levin and Jameson Rollins -- to discuss the future of Science Faction.
