Seasoned performers interview a scientist about their most exciting and interesting work, learning right alongside the audience about anything from why speed reading is a hoax, to why crabs make good test subjects. Their very real expertise becomes the inspiration for very made up improv comedy — to hilarious effect.

At this show, we’ll meet Leslie Sibener, PhD.. Sibener is a neuroscientist at Rockefeller University, currently researching how specific memories are stored for long term memory in the brain, while others are forgotten. She received her PhD from Columbia University, where she studied movement and motor learning.
