In Strongman competitions men and women display their strength by lifting cars or tires or pulling extremely heavy objects. At ScholarFest our fellows will dazzle you with their “academic feats of strength,” presenting fascinating research under challenging circumstances of their choosing. Will they give you the history of the periodic table in five minutes while standing on one leg? Blindfold themselves and correctly name various collection items using only touch? Who will be crowned the ScholarFest champion? Find out at a First Friday that is sure to leave you laughing while you learn something new.
Presentations will take place at 5:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. The Museum at CHF will be open for self-guided tours throughout the evening.
First Fridays at CHF are always free and open to the public; no registration required. For more information about our First Friday programs, contact Alexis Jeffcoat at 215.873.8293 or ajeffcoat@chemheritage.org.
