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.
Trace Dominguez makes science fun across every screen he can find. 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. This is Trace’s second talk at NNHV- you caught him in January giving the talk: Invading New Jersey with Squirrels: A Proposal.
Ages 12+ Doors at 7pm.

This show will be out of this world!
Join Beacon Bicycle Coalition Co-Founder and past NNHV favorite Yvonne Caruthers, a 35 year career cellist in the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., Dr. Moiya McTieran, astrophysicist, folklorist, author and host of a weekly astronomy podcast called Pale Blue Pod, and Dr. Clara Sousa Silva, a quantum astrochemist and molecular astrophysicist who spends most of her time studying molecules that life can produce so that, one day, she can detect an alien biosphere.
This is bound to be a spacey show!
