Beakman coming to Caltech Jan. 28

Beakman on the Brain, starring Paul Zaloom, will be presented on Friday, January 28, at 7 p.m. in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium.

From the Emmy Award-winning, children’s science television show, Beakman’s World, the entertaining and lively scientist Beakman (Paul Zaloom) will present a new production about everything you ever wanted to know about the Brain, but were thinking too much to ask.

With audience participation and his wacky sense of humor, Beakman employs a series of large scale, fun, and very visual demonstrations to illustrate how the brain works. Have you ever wondered how we think, feel, smell and see? What makes us cry, laugh, smile and sneeze? How our brains can get fooled - or the effect of music and art on our brains?

Beakman will address the neuroscience of the brain in a fun, wacky, and exploratory way for kids and adults alike.

Tickets to this performance are priced at $15; youth (high school age and younger): $10.00 (unreserved seating). Senior rush tickets will go on sale for $10.00, beginning one-half hour before the performance (subject to availability). Tickets can be purchased at the Caltech Ticket Office, 332 S. Michigan Avenue, Pasadena.
