Sewickley theater hosting “Science on Screen” program
The Lindsay Theater and Cultural Center in Sewickley is hosting the National Science on Screen program, pairing films with science, engineering, medicine and technology experts, and is one of only 40 cinemas chosen nationwide.
The three-part series begins on the National Day of Science on Screen next Tuesday at 7 p.m. The theater will screen “Woman in Motion,” a documentary about the impact of late “Star Trek” star Nichelle Nichols on NASA, and a presentation by Elena Petrak, an Astrobiotic quality assurance engineer. Also, staff members from the Moonshot Museum on Pittsburgh’s North Side will be there.
The second event, on Thursday, April 13 at 7 p.m., will be a screening of the movie “Titanic” to mark its 25th anniversary. Before the movie is screened, Dr. Brian Gleeson, chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh, will talk about advances in research on metallic alloys and temperatures.
Details are not yet available on the third event in the series.
