Science on Tap, Untapped: Legendary Science
Humans have been fascinated by the things we cannot fully explain since the beginning of time. Larger than life creatures like the Loch Ness Monster, Kraken, Bigfoot, and the recently discovered “Chinese Dragon” provide a glimpse into how humans have used the knowledge they have to help understand and explain phenomena in their world.
At this special Science on Tap, we explore the myths, legends, and science behind some of our favorite mythical creatures. We’ll take a close look at how our initial interpretations have adapted and changed as our understanding of the world around us has grown.
This event also celebrates 15 years of Science on Tap programming. Come celebrate with us in the City of Brotherly Love with marvelous myths, food, and drinks.
