Our Museum of Natural History is pretty cool, but it’s especially cool every first Friday of each month starting January. The entire place will stay open late, and after a scientific lecture by a renowned scientist, a rock show will take place in the big gallery, in the middle of the dioramas showing African elephants, polar bears, and Asian tigers.
I have been to a few of them in the past, and it is quite a vision to see musicians perform in such a setting.
A way to make science sexy as they say, and to attract youngsters inside a science museum, as the ambiance is that of a party with DJ’s all evening, and a food buffet in another gallery.
So it’s starting this week, and the theme of this year is about what science can predict for the future, and among the questions posted on their website, I cannot resist to choose these two: ‘Will we be able to harness the power of your brain to be more creative?’ and ‘Are we doomed to go the way of the dinosaur? Or, perhaps, will we live forever?’
I wonder if Kurzweil will be the special guest,… I hope not.

The first musical bands are Little Dragons and Sister Crayon with DJ Anthony Valadez and special guest, Garth Trinidad. They haven’t announced the rest of the program, but it is sure something I will closely look at.
