Eureka! is an interactive science comedy show that demystifies science in a way that is relatable, educational, and hilarious. Our guest speakers lecture while comedians riff and banter with them on stage. The audience can win fun, silly prizes by correctly answering the guest scientist's questions.
On August 31st get your Nuclear Fusion on! We'll have Lorin Benedict, an applied theoretical and computational physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory discuss the science of nuclear fusion. Joining him will be comedians Krista Fatka (Outside Lands), Matt Gubser (San Francisco International Comedy Competition), and Kevin Whittinghill (SF Sketchfest).
Lorin Benedict has studied topics ranging from nanoscience to magnetism to nuclear fusion his primary interest is in predicting the properties of matter at extreme pressures and temperatures. He obtained his PhD in Physics from UC Berkeley in 1996, where he studied various properties of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. He then moved to the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD for a postdoctoral fellowship, where he helped to develop more accurate numerical methods for predicting the absorption of visible and ultraviolet light by solid matter. He joined Lawrence Livermore at the end of 1998.
