We are so sorry - this event has been cancelled.

Santa Clara County and San Mateo County health officials are recommending that all non-essential gatherings be cancelled due to COVID-19. The wellbeing of our community is our top priority so we are following those recommendations.

Join us for a special evening with Neil Shubin, the best-selling author of Your Inner Fish and the master of writing about science in a way that both educates and entertains.

In Some Assembly Required, today's most engaging scientific storyteller examines the evolution of human and animal life on earth like no one has done before. Is our presence on Earth accidental or inevitable? How do big changes in evolution happen?

In this new exciting scientific moment, archaic fossils coupled with new DNA technology have given us the tools to answer these basic questions of our existence. Join us for this wild ride⁠— part adventure, part mystery, and all of it true⁠— as Shubin guides us through all of the twists and turns of understanding the origins of life's immense diversity.
