Monday, Oct. 16, 2006: Café Scientifique

Carnegie Science Center, River View Cafe

6:00-8:00 p.m.

Topic: Dating & Relationships: From the Heart to the Brain

In partnership with Cafe Scientifique

Newton solved gravity. Einstein mastered Space-Time. Now, at last, science turns to some of the really hard questions - like, what do I say on a first date? Can I really seduce a woman by making her laugh?  When he says, “I'll call you,” how can you tell if he's lying?

Timandra Harkness of the Comedy Research Project in Great Britain consults Dr. Harry Witchel of Bristol University for some scientific tips on better dating. Using sophisticated experimental quipment and audience volunteers they find out the answers to these questions, and many others. Could gene therapy turn a love-rat into a faithful snuggle-bunny? Do normal people use Internet Dating? Learn Dr. Witchel's Six Types of Love and how to find them, and learn the secret dance that underlies all human love and desire.

River View Cafe will be open.

Free Admission.  Cash Bar.
