Enjoy cocktails, cutting-edge science, and conversation at this popular after-hours series, which takes place on the first Wednesday of every month.
Skin is our largest organ and a crucial part of our lives, whether it’s protecting us from the elements or serving as a medium for self-expression. At May’s SciCafe, biological anthropologist Nina Jablonski will explore skin’s unique cultural history and its crucial role as an adaptation to UV radiation.
Dr. Nina Jablonski is a professor of biological anthropology and head of the anthropology department at Penn State University. She is the author of Skin: A Natural History, a cultural and biological overview of human skin, and has appeared as a guest on The Colbert Report.
