How could you possibly resist a lecture at a bar that has “Sixteen Good Reasons Not to Drink Whiskey with Strangers” as a subtitle?
The wheel of hosts falls to the Mutter Museum for this month’s Science on Tap, and they’ve picked Stockton College history prof Lisa Rosner as their speaker, appropriately enough. Her new book is “The Anatomy Murders: Being the True and Spectacular History of Edinburgh’s Notorious Burke and Hare and of the Man of Science Who Abetted Them in the Commission of Their Most Heinous Crimes,” which has earned some raves at Amazon.
Science on Tap provided a helpful background link to the Burke and Hare murders, if you have some time to kill.
As always, Science on Tap is held 6PM the first Monday of the month* at National Mechanics on third street in Old City Philly.
*Well, usually, when there isn’t a national holiday.
