Thao to Join Radiolab Live: In the Dark on November 3rd and 4th

“Radiolab shows just announced! Cannot wait. I’ll be playing some songs and doing some live science scoring. Come, let us learn together.” – Thao

Radiolab Live: In the Dark is part of the Bay Area Science Festival and will take place November 3rd and 4th in Berkeley, CA. More details below and HERE.

When: Thursday, November 3rd, 8-10 PM
Friday, November 4th, 8-10 PM

Where: Zellerbach Hall, 101 Zellerbach Hall # 4800, Berkeley, CA, 94720

Cost: $30/$40

Radiolab is a show about curiosity, where big ideas are explored with an
infectious enthusiasm for the mysteries of science, and the magic of
real-life experiences.

Radiolab’s live shows are exuberant, perspective-shaking
extravaganzas–where crowds cheer for scientists, artists illustrate
philosophical puzzles, and musicians guide our hearts and heads through
complicated ideas and complex emotions.

Join hosts Jad Abumrad, a MacArthur “Genius” Award-winning radio producer,
and Robert Krulwich, a highly-acclaimed NPR science reporter, for a night of
electrifying storytelling, live music and dance, and stunning
images–featuring a live performance from comedian Demetri Martin, and live
scoring from Thao Nguyen. The topic is In the Dark–from the blackness of
space outside an astronaut’s helmet, to two very different realities
described by two blind men, to the dawn of sight and the evolution of the
eye.

Some Praise for AMERICAN TEACHER – SF Premiere Tonight

Friends! It is World Teacher Day! Look at what we have for you: fantastic reviews of American Teacher and an SF premiere this week. Please let us duly celebrate all the teachers who kept us from being a-holes.

★★★★★ “This heartbreaking and essential look into the lives of those who put so much into educating other people’s children ought to be seen by anyone concerned about the fate of the public school system, and the nation as a whole.”
- Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

“A heartfelt, bittersweet portrait of several teachers as they make the difficult decision of whether to stick with the profession…a nicely drawn study.”
- Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times

“As we watch the individuals in “American Teacher” struggle with the burdens the system places on them, it’s hard not to feel like crying, both for them specifically and for our national culture. As one education authority laments after revealing his son’s salary-based job choice, ‘Something’s wrong when selling cellphones is more important to society than being a teacher.”
- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

“Every policymaker should be required to see the new film American Teacher. Powerful, compelling!”
- Mark Phillips, Washington Post
