Why the "Science of Superstition"?
Superstitions like knocking on wood, avoiding black cats, or not stepping on cracks add a dash of mystery to life and have puzzled people for centuries with the fear of the unknown. But why do we follow these beliefs? Are superstitions baseless, or do they have scientific reasoning behind them? Why do we avoid walking under ladders or opening umbrellas indoors? On Friday, September 13th (yes, Friday the 13th), we invite you to join us as we journey into the origins and science behind some of our most common childhood superstitions.
This wonderful evening of fun and fundraising will feature all things superstitious. Join us for hands-on science activities, cocktails, plated dinner, auctions, camaraderie and a shared appreciation for the value of science education for all kids. Invite your friends to come out for a great time and a great cause.
Join us during the reception from 6:00 to 7:15pm on the patio for hands-on activities exploring superstitions, dowsing rods, and auditory illusions while you enjoy delicious hors d'oeuvres and check out FUNdraising activities!
A plated dinner inside the venue at 7:30 will precede our featured speaker, Professor Brandon Barker, and the live auction.
Professor Brandon Barker, IUB, will be exploring how childhood superstitions and causal relationships impact how we approach and view the world. He will also share his experience using dowsing rods and the surprising findings of his research. Learn More about Professor Barker.
