The Why Sci Variety Show

October 21 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Get ready to rock your curiosity at the Why Sci Variety Show—a high-energy mashup of science talks, artful performances, and live music! This year’s theme is Rock and Roll, so expect brainy beats, geology jokes, and scientific showmanship that will have you thinking and tapping your toes.

Hosted by the always-entertaining Ben Rush and featuring tunes from our live house band: David Hecht & The Who Dat, this is edu-tainment at its finest. From ancient rocks to musical molecules, science and art collide in unexpected ways during this one-of-a-kind show.

Doors and bar open at 6:30pm – show starts at 7pm.

Register for your free tickets at WhySciShow.eventbrite.com!

Produced in partnership with the UW-Madison Division of the Arts and with support from The Anonymous Fund.
