Some Christmas treats are gobbled up early. That’s usually the case with the free tickets to “Once Upon a Christmas Cheery, In the Lab of Shakhashiri,” which will be presented at 1 pm. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 5th and Sunday, December 6th on the UW-Madison campus.
Tickets to this popular event will be distributed beginning November 16th, 2009. If you want to attend, you must print and complete an online form, and mail it to the UW-Madison Chemistry Department along with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Dr. Bassam Z. Shakhashiri, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is renowned nationwide for his chemical demonstration programs, and in particular for his annual presentation,”Once Upon a Christmas Cheery, In the Lab of Shakhashiri.”
This is the 40th anniversary of this science-oriented entertainment, which has played to packed houses at such varied locations as the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the National Academy of Sciences and the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington and Boston’s Museum of Science, as well as being televised by stations across the country.
