A few more odds and ends from the intersections of science, technology and culture.
From Baba Brinkman, some news on the in-person edition of Rap Guide to Evolution:
Only nine shows left of The Rap Guide to Evolution off-Broadway. Tell a friend!—

By the time this posts, that number is down to seven. Brinkman will remain in New York City for a while, as he has a six-week run in the same theater for his interpretation of The Canterbury Tales. Brinkman came to science from the classics, so expect the same high-quality production from him and Mr. Simmonds, his DJ on Rap Guide to Evolution. Brinkman will still perform Rap Guide, but specific plans for other North America stops aren’t clear yet. (I hope the next USA Science and Engineering Festival is on the list.)
On the movie front, two films with science or technology content are making the rounds. I mentioned Connected before, when the director made a late night television appearance. The film focuses on the relationship between people and their technological devices. Another film that U.K. readers may already know is Perfect Sense. It’s appearing at a few festivals in the U.S. The movie stars Ewen McGregor, Eva Green and focuses on a scientist and a chef who fall in love amidst a global epidemic that affects sensory perception.
