Science Cabaret will be hosting a program about bugs in Hollywood and popculture. The event 'THE CREEPY CRAWLIES OF HOLLYWOOD' takes place on Tuesday, March 15, at 7:00 p.m. at Coltivare, located on 235 S. Cayuga St., Ithaca, NY.

The March Science Cabaret will feature Dr. Susan Villarreal, The Bug Doctor, and a cast of your favorite insects, spiders, and other creepy crawlies. Insects mesmerize, mystify and horrify us. All are welcome at this free event (first come, first serve) to come learn why insect behavior and biology makes them great inspiration for cinematic heroes and, more often, monstrous villains.

These lively events take place one Tuesday a month at Coltivare in Downtown Ithaca. Scientists and others are invited to talk about their work and the audience participates in an extended discussion with the presenters. Previous cabarets have covered climate science, evolution and religion, robotics, and astro-physics, just to name a few. All Science Cabarets are free to the public, open to all ages, and no science background is required!
