Insightful, humorous and sometimes over-the-top presentation will be paired with live performance (music and…). This will be followed by cupcakes and beverages.

The rest of you will have to pay for yours!
Wednesday, October 30—The Science vs. Body Wisdom Smackdown
With special musical guests The Harpoons.
This genre-bending, boundary-pushing, classically-trained duo—harpist Jessica Schaeffer & basoonist Erin Irvine—features two of the most mysterious and magical instruments of the orchestra.
Scientists are our BFFs. Really. But are we going to wait for some study to point out something we already know from our own experience?
What are the limitations of the scientific method when it comes to living our daily lives? How can the practices of science help us be better body wisdom noticers? When do we need to pay attention to the published data and when do we need to claim our own authority? We know a lot but we only claim a tiny sliver of it because we are cowed by smarty-pants authority. Little us? What the heck do we know?
Come find out how to stand tall in the small but mighty realm of your own experience! And eat a cupcake!
Also!
