As I've mentioned before, Monday seems to be THE day for science in the city. Here's a sampling of events happening tonight - check out the calendar for more:
Dolphin Mysteries: Unlocking the Secrets of Communication
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, dolphins have superior mental capabilities to humans (as well as being way, way cuter). With their amazing ability to create a mental picture from echolocation and their complex communication skills, it's not an unimaginable premise. Tonight, researchers Kathleen Dudzinski and Toni Frohoff will be talking about progress in understanding dophin communication and their new dolphin dictionary at the Explorer's Club.
Cafe Science: Mending a Broken Heart
He won't help you with your relationship issues, but Warren Sherman will be ready to discuss how stem cells seem to patch up just about anything, including heart muscle cells. Columbia University continues its Cafe Science series tonight at PicNic Cafe.
Thirteen Things That Don't Make Sense
Author and physicist Michael Brooks will be at AMNH tonight to promote his new book and discuss unexplained topics like the placebo effect, why we die, dark matter, and life on Mars.
