Facts Machine LIVE and Livestreamed! Seas Get Degrees - Comedy and Trivia Inspired by Marine Biology with Noah Guiberson (A&S '15)

Sponsored by the Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Entrepreneurship Affinity

Facts Machine presents, “Seas Get Degrees,” a science comedy, storytelling, and trivia show inspired by Marine Biology! Scientists by day and pub trivia hosts by night, Em, Noah, and Rob will be joined by guest marine biologists and science communicators Jaida Elcock and Dr. Diana Li, PhD, as they make waves, do deep dives on the deep sea, and have a “littoral” whale of a time!

This event will take place LIVE in NYC and it will also be livestreamed! 

MEET THE PERFORMERS
As a lung cancer researcher, Em Costa studies the biological effects of poorly understood gene mutations, and so spends much of her time thinking really hard and pipetting a lot of pink liquids. When she's not doing that (or Facts Machine-ing, of course), you can find her cyanotyping, tending an impractically large windowsill garden, or obsessively Googling birds-of-paradise.

Noah Guiberson (A&S '15) got his start writing and hosting trivia nights in the rugged pub quiz circuits of Baltimore and New York. Aside from recording and editing episodes of Facts Machine, Noah produces SCIENCE 101 at Caveat. A Weill Cornell neuroscientist by day, he seeks to answer the greatest trivia question of them all: How does the brain work?

Dr. Rob Frawley is an alumnus of Weill Cornell Graduate School where he got his PhD in orthopedics and cell biology. A long-time NYC trivia host, Rob now works with BioBus Inc. delivering science to schools all over New York City with a bus full of microscopes, amazing samples, and funny games. Rob spends the rest of his time swimming and waiting for it to be Pi Day.
