Mote Science Café: What Moves UsWhat do ballet dancers have in common with marine biologists?
In Dr. Nick Whitney's case, they both tell stories through movement. Nick uses the same motion-senstitive technology found in your cell phone or Nintendo Wii game controller to measure fine-scale behaviors in sharks, sturgeon, and even snakes. The Sarasota Ballet can appreciate the meticulous pursuit to understand the intricacies of how a body moves. What can such minute attention to movement tell us about life?
Join Mote Marine Laboratory and the Sarasota Ballet in a conversation about how we use movement to learn more about ourselves and the world at Mote's next Science Café from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at Ceviche Tapas Bar and Restuarant.
Mote Science Cafés are informal, community discussions that give everyone the chance to participate. "What Moves Us" will feature the Sarasota Ballet's Iain Webb or Sayward Grindley and Dr. Nick Whitney, Staff Scientist with Mote's Center for Shark Research.
Food and drink specials will be available. Space is limited. Please RSVP to Mote at 941-388-4441, ext. 172, and come early to get a good seat. Ceviche is at 1216 1st Steet, Sarasota.
