Science in the Cinema

Movies are often based on strange and fantastic science, leaving the audience to wonder how much of what they are seeing is possible and how much is simply fiction.

Enter AIHS’s “Science in the Cinema” program, which helps illuminate the science in popular cinema and provides a venue for the general public to learn about current research.

Science in the Cinema provides FREE screenings (free popcorn included) of selected movies related to health or biomedical issues. A researcher who works in a related field introduces each film. Following the presentation, the researcher discusses new areas of research related to the science highlighted in the movie with time for audience questions and discussion.
