Join us for an evening of true, personal stories about science and the ripple effects we never see coming. From diagnoses that become unexpected superpowers to the people closest to us changing in ways we never imagined, our storytellers explore what happens when one discovery, disruption, or twist of fate changes how we see the people we love—and ourselves.

Expect surprises, transformations, a little chaos, and plenty of science along the way.

Hosted by Christine Williams and Gastor Almonte.

Doors at 6:30 p.m. Show starts at 7:00 p.m.

This show is free to attend! In lieu of a ticket, we invite you to make a donation to support Story Collider and help us keep sharing true, personal stories about science.
