What is Science in the Cinema? Science in the Cinema is a film festival held each summer at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md. One evening a week for six weeks, a film with a medical science theme is screened. Following each film, a guest speaker with expertise in the film's subject area leads a discussion with the audience about the science depicted. The film series is sponsored by the NIH Office of Science Education; to make a comment or ask a question about this program, click here. |
