Science on Tap to continue examination of science in the movies with ‘Moneyball’
When Austin Peay State University’s Science on Tap returns to Strawberry Alley Ale Works on April 5, APSU professors will continue their examination of how Hollywood blockbuster movies portray science.
At last month’s Science on Tap, Dr. Catherine Haase, Dr. Kallina Dunkle and Phil Roberson explored the science depicted in 1993’s “Jurassic Park.” April’s lecture will focus on how the 2011 film “Moneyball” portrays sabermetrics – the analysis of baseball statistics.
Dr. Matthew Jones, professor of probability and statistics in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, will lead the discussion at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5, at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley.
Science on Tap is hosted by Austin Peay’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Art + Design to celebrate student work with annual juried exhibition
The Department of Art + Design will celebrate the end of the 2021-22 academic year with the 54th Annual Juried Student Exhibition. The professionally juried exhibition opens in The New Gallery on April 4 and runs through April 27.
The exhibition will culminate with a reception and awards ceremony from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on April 27. All are invited to attend the free ceremony.
The exhibition showcases the best artwork produced by students during the past year and allows students to participate in a professional exhibition where a qualified juror selects artwork and artistic merit awards.
For those that not able to see the work in person, there will be an accompanying 3D virtual gallery tour to be released by April 8.
The department will announce jury award winners – along with CECA Purchase Award and Summer Research Award recipients – beginning at 5:30 p.m. on April 27 at the awards ceremony in The New Gallery.
