Science Rap — How Does Science Get a Wide Smile?

The Science Reactors in their first summer outing

with the revamped Stand up

“Science rap” How does Science get a big smile?

Science Reactors 2014 – 2024: Ten years of science on stage!

The Science Reactors in yet another subversive Stand up, which for them is a real challenge. Why?

For their first summer start they have chosen Kypseli Municipal Market, a historic listed building, a “trademark” in a neighbourhood that is a hub of social life in the heart of Athens.

After ten years of their distinctive presence at Technopolis in Gazi (Athens Science Festival), they are trying their “luck” in its other interesting cultural space, in an area completely new and unknown to them. A difficult undertaking,

But they aspire, with their familiar unconventional style, to tell scientific stories with a surprise theme and, with vividness and humour, to become part of this lively human hive, winning new friends.

They share the vision of the Municipality of Athens and Technopolis, which “believe in whatever

future respects the past, place people as creators and bearers of culture at the centre, and aspire, in one of the most populous, multicultural neighbourhoods attuned to the ‘now’, for the phrase ‘I’ll be at the Agora’ to have a reason to be said every day.

So they too will be at the Agora and they are waiting for you to respond to their new invitation!

This group of young and talented scientists with a love for communicating science will try to overturn the myth that scientists have no sense of humour. Will they succeed? They will prove it from the stage
