Science Reactors at the Museum of the History of the University of Athens

This summer too, the Science Reactors have chosen the historic venue of the Museum of the History of the University of Athens, also known as the Old University, for their next performance. A place of exploration and a "guardian" of knowledge that influences them so positively, since it is there that they have given their most successful performances!!!

With their scientific storytelling — characterised by imagination, inventiveness, the unexpected and the humorous — they aim at the outward-facing side of science and, following in the footsteps of stand-up comedy, they attempt to debunk the myth that scientists have no sense of humour.

With the common element that connects them, their talent and their love for communicating science, in this performance too they will narrate, in their familiar and unconventional style, unexpected stories of everyday scientific madness:

…from the blessing or otherwise of Artificial Intelligence, our friendly robots and the environment, and logical… fallacies to their personal experiences from their scientific journey.

So what connection can a stand-up and especially a "Science Rap" between mathematics and physics have with Science?

Come to this special evening, where the Science Reactors promise to initiate you into their "secrets" by presenting Science… differently!!.
