Science on Tap, Untapped: Legendary Science

Humans have been fascinated by the things we cannot fully explain since the beginning of time. Larger than life creatures like the Loch Ness Monster, Kraken, Bigfoot, and the recently discovered “Chinese Dragon” provide a glimpse into how humans have used the knowledge they have to help understand and explain phenomena in their world.

The Science History Institute hosts this special Science on Tap, where we’ll explore the myths, legends, and science behind some of our favorite mythical creatures. We’ll take a close look at how our initial interpretations have adapted and changed as our understanding of the world around us has grown. The evening will feature speakers from the Academy of Natural Sciences, the American Philosophical Society Museum, the Mütter Museum, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Wagner Free Institute of Science.

Light refreshments will be served including drinks courtesy of our beer sponsor, Human Robot.
