Science Speakeasy No. 3- A Giant Advantage: Baseball in our Bones

In this Science Speakeasy we’re stepping up to the pitcher’s mound! First, we’ll explore the connection between long distance precision throwing and our evolutionary split from other primates with evolutionary biologist Nathan Young, who uses modern technology to study human evolution. Then, San Francisco Giants’ official orthopedic surgeon Ken Akizuki will share how he keeps our Giants’ pitchers in optimum condition to win.

Science Speakeasy mixes short talks from up-and-coming scientists with cocktails, conversation, interactive science experiments, storytelling and more. These events are for adults ages 21+.
