Followed by Science on Screen^® Chat: Urban Ecologies
What makes for healthy and happy homes and habitats for the many members of a community? How do we decide who, or what, makes up the community; what obstacles or questions need to be considered for a healthy urban ecology, and who gets a say? Bat Boy filmmaker Aaron Lemle will discuss his neuroscience background and how he rolled important issues around healthy urban environments into his short film. Aaron will walk young audiences through the film’s themes and ideas around how to create positive social, environmental, and cultural connections for inhabitants of all backgrounds, ages, and even species!

Science on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
