Some topics don’t fit neatly into OLLI science classes—too
big, too small, too little, too much, too off-topic—and often
end up on the proverbial cutting room floor. In this course,
these intriguing bits and ends are gathered up and
presented like a charcuterie board of tasty science snacks.
This will be a six-week romp through just about anything
one might imagine including a little bit of color theory, a
morsel of genetic testing science, a dash of airplane
physics, some lightning theory, a mouse that turns scorpion
venom into a painkiller, current scientific thoughts on
origins of life, and a lot of time to explore topics of interest
to you. Bring your questions and we will explore some of
the exciting nooks and crannies of science together.
