The Quiz
Tough to write better copy than this: “In a world where status updates and listicles reign supreme, a mysterious Facebook quiz is on the loose. And when it hospitalizes several local children, new media journalist Samantha Stone must journey into the underbelly of social media, beneath the ones and zeroes, to figure out how to stop THE QUIZ.”
WEDNESDAY

At this talk, cell biologist and MacArthur genius winner Mark Roth will give a talk called “Altered States: Can We Control Time?” as part of the Goodship Academy of Higher Education’s lecture series. He’ll discuss how the biological processes that control metabolism might provide new insights into physics and the space-time continuum.
