The Athena has been programming Science on Screen® events since 2012. Whether classic or quirky, these science/movie mash-ups are highly entertaining events and a wonderful way to integrate film and science in a way that appeals to students, faculty and community members with a wide array of interests.
On March 27th, theaters around the nation will host their own Science on Screen events. Stay tuned for information on what film and presentation the Athena Cinema will bring to Athens, Ohio this spring.
Science on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The Science on Screen program pairs films with a short talk with a scientist or technology expert. The free Science on Screen events are fun and engaging, offering dynamic speakers an unexpected jumping point to teach their field of expertise in a way that is accessible to a diverse audience.
Free admission is provided by Arts for OHIO.
