Synopsis: Location: Architectural Artifacts 4325 N. Ravenswood Ave. Forget "Dancing with the Stars." Let's get down with the scientists. The winning entrants in the 2009 AAAS Science Dance Contest show style, ingenuity, and humor as they portray their Ph.D. research in the form of dance. The contest is the brain-child of Gonzo Scientist John Bohannon, a contributing correspondent for Science, who wanted to give scientists a chance to show their creativity in communicating their work while also shattering a few stereotypes about stuffy, lab-bound researchers. The winners in the four categories were announced 20 November on the ScienceNow news site. Shuttle buses begin departing the Hyatt Regency Chicago at 7:40PM.
