Tornadoes. Ever since I saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time as an impressionable toddler, I have been irrationally freaked out by tornadoes. There's something in the chaotic and unpredictable motion that makes me hide in the bathtub whenever there's a tornado watch.
Everyone has their fears - whether they are about losing the house or about giant man-eating spiders. Tonight The New York Academy of Sciences is hosting a meeting about how our brains react to fear. NYU professor and researcher Joseph LeDoux will be leading the discussion as well as presenting his research. His band, aptly named The Amygdaloids, will be playing at the reception.
