The 1924, A Science Speakeasy
(with Bill Hallman, Rutgers University)
I’m Not Afraid: You’re Afraid!
Yes, it’s Friday the 13th and it’s time to grab your rabbit’s foot, cross your fingers, and avoid those cracks in the sidewalk. Fear not, because we have risk assessment expert Bill Hallman in the house to help us sort through the things that should scare us and the things that we can safely ignore as we look carefully at just how dangerous the day is likely to be. This special event is co-hosted with the NAS’ LabX. Stay tuned for more details.
