Friday April 17th, 2026 at Industrial Arts Brewing Co
Trace Dominguez joins us once again to give a talk on poison before we watch THE PRINCESS BRIDE!
Tickets here. Ages 12+
Iocaine powder is odorless, colorless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is one of the most deadly poisons known to man (or so Westley says in The Princess Bride). This mysterious MacGuffin begs us to ask: Can a human gain immunity to poison?
Join science communicator and PBS host Trace Dominguez as he dives into the intriguing world of poisons and venoms, revealing a ground-breaking insight that will change how you see this iconic scene forever.
With an introduction to the film by Hit House Film curator Shane Killoran, music, trivia, prizes, beer, special surprises and guaranteed good company…see you at Industrial Arts Brewing Co!

Tickets here.

He hosts PBS‘s weekly astronomy show Star Gazers, answers ridiculous questions on his podcast That’s Absurd Please Elaborate, and created the YouTube science channel Seeker which earned over 1 billion views. He’s thrown up in an F-18 jet, learned to echolocate while blindfolded, and is an Emmy-nominated host and Webby Award winner.
