SCIENTISTS + IMPROVISORS = !
In this experiment, Thank You, Robot invites real gosh darn scientists to give short lectures in their fields of study. Following each talk, there will be an exploration of the presented topic…in the form of improv comedy.This month is a special Earth Day show, part of the events of Earth Day New York. You love the Earth, right?
Special guest improv team: GLORY DAYS
Special guest lecturers: ALEX RUANE and DEENA WALKER.
ALEX RUANE is a Research Physical Scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA-GISS) and an adjunct Associate Research Scientist at the Columbia University Center for Climate Systems Research in New York City. He serves as the Research Coordinator and Climate Team Leader for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP).
DEENA WALKER is a postdoctoral fellow at Mt Sinai School of Medicine where she studies the molecular mechanisms of addiction and depression. She recently moved to New York after finishing her PhD at The University of Texas at Austin, where she studied how endocrine disrupting chemicals in our environment affect the developing brain.
Lectures curated and produced by BEN LILLIE, DANIELLE SEDBROOK and CAITLIN SHURE.

Neurophysiology indicates that laughter is linked with the activation of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, that produces endorphins.[14] Scientists have shown that parts of the limbic system are involved in laughter. This system is involved in emotions and helps us with functions necessary for humans’ survival. The structures in the limbic system that are involved in laughter: the hippocampus and the amygdala.
