Wonderfest 2010

Wonderfest 2010, the Bay Area Festival of Science
   Saturday, Nov. 6, 1:00-10:00 PM at Stanford's Hewlett Teaching Center
   Sunday, Nov. 7, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM at UC Berkeley's Stanley Hall
   *** ENTIRELY FREE ADMISSION ***
Science bends your mind at Wonderfest 2010, the oldest science festival in the United States.  Diverse activities energize each day of the Wonderfest weekend: provocative expert dialogues, the physics circus, 20,000-volt teslas coil zaps, science comedy, and much more.  Wonderfest also presents science art, books, crafts, and even a bit of science music.  But the heart of Wonderfest is its signature dialogues between world-class researchers on deep questions ("Is Mathematics More Art than Science?" & "Do We Understand the Structure of the Universe?") and on up-to-the-moment issues ("Dare We Try to Engineer Earth's Climate?" & "Will Synthetic Biology Make Industrial Chemistry Obsolete?")  Come flex your mind, share ideas with true experts, and help to enlarge the meaning of "scientific community" at Wonderfest 2010!
