8:00 PM Program

Get ready for an irreverent evening of science on the wild side as bestselling author Mary Roach takes the stage in conversation with Science Friday's radio talk show host and executive producer, Ira Flatow. Mary and Ira share a passion for making science discussion a part of our everyday lives. Ever-curious and funny, Mary will keep you in stitches as she shares her exploration and wonder of "how things work" that led her to write her books: Bonk: The Curious Couplings of Science and Sex, Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void, Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife, and Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.

Mary's writing has been published in multiple languages all over the world and appears regularly in National Geographic, Outside, Wired, and the New York Times Magazine.

Ira's show, "Brain Fun for Curious People," heard by more than 2 million people each week, airs on nearly 400 public radio stations throughout the United States, including our local station 90.3 KAZU, National Public Radio for the Monterey Bay area, a community service of CSU Monterey Bay.

Your $55 ticket includes wine tasting from 4 local wineries in the Sunset Center lobby, followed by an evening with Mary Roach that will make you say, "Wow," "Icky," and "Amazing."

Proceeds from the evening benefit the Carmel Public Library Foundation whose goal is to fund the Carmel Public Library, keep the doors open and maintain the library's preeminence as a steward and cherished cultural institution on the Central Coast of California. 

Tickets: $55 (Ticket price includes Wine Tasting; no additional fees)
